Coolest swag I’ve gotten at conference (programmable badge with Doom and other apps preloaded). Props to @temporalio !

[ThePrimeagen @ThePrimeagen]

I really just like to program

Hands on keyboard, music, deeply thinking and enjoying the process

@gabemonroy @fatih @WHOOP @bevel_health They are apparently suing Bevel for likeness of their app: https://t.co/41X7PwNf82

Quite impressed by what Claude Code can do! Gave it very simple instructions to write a Go SDK for a public API using an existing Go library as inspiration. It did its own research and one-shotted the whole thing in less than an hour and with 99% of my session quota 😅

Took Adblock for granted until the one I use recently stopped working. Suddenly these email-like ads started showing up in my inbox. How is this different from getting actual random spam emails? Maybe it's time to switch email providers.

I’ll know if I regret this when I wake up tomorrow, but pushed through the last 4 miles to get within 3h10m. What a race! Sub-3 on the next one?!

Asked Google “what happened to X from Y company”. Google returned no relevant results, and incorrect results from Gemini (AI Overview). ChatGPT gave me the exact answer I was looking for (with links) and more. The latter might become tomorrow’s default search engine.

Staying up late learning a new programming language during peak marathon training week is a terrible idea but somehow I keep doing it 😭

[Calvin Leung @icalvn]

Ran more this year than all previous years combined. One day short of 300 runs within a year, so that’s gonna be the score to beat in 2025!

@mitchellh I know that I’m just one data point (thanks for the invite btw!), but I’ve swapped to ghostty and used it out-of-the-box with zero config. Most of the stuff that I really care about is on the “layer above it” through oh-my-zsh, .zprofile, and/or dotfiles.

Wrapping up the year with a 3:14:14 PR at CIM. Learned from my mistakes in this same race last year. Came up with a plan this time around, stayed disciplined, and executed on it. Inching closer to a BQ, let’s go!

[Calvin Leung @icalvn]

@mitchellh Would love to give this a try! Been waiting for a few months but doesn’t seem like I’m in yet 😕

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Mechazilla has caught the Super Heavy booster!

@random_copy Thanks Narayan!

[Calvin Leung @icalvn]

SF marathon thank you for such an amazing race! PR’ed with 3:27:27. We’re just getting started, the grind goes on!

[Calvin Leung @icalvn]

Finally got the chance to hop into a Waymo and I must say I’m really impressed! Probably drives a tad slower and more defensively than a human driver (e.g. sitting through a yellow light rather than chasing it), but the ride itself was very smooth.

[Calvin Leung @icalvn]

146 runs and 148 hours later, finally hit 1k miles year-to-date. Closed out the week with a 17 mi run.

The grind goes on!

Somehow ended up staying up til 1am watching MIT’s Intro to Algo course on YT. Ngl I kinda miss the days back in college
