@GrantSlatton Now, model a scenario where more people in the US cities actually use public transportation - how would the efficiency change?

[Kevin Peterka @KevinJPeterka]

@Terravoir Should be adjusted for density and it would be perfect

[Kevin Peterka @KevinJPeterka]

I completely missed your comment (didn’t get notification…). I can confirm that @Garmin was very helpful and quick with their response and the replacement watch is on the way. Looking forward to it and hope it will be a different story.

Glad to hear that you’ve had a great experience with one exception. Did the problem go away with the new device?

[Kevin Peterka @KevinJPeterka]

After one year with @Garmin Fenix 8 watch, I gotta say - great device, absolutely horrible user experience. It couldn’t be much worse.

This is what you get for $1100 purchase:

2x lost runs I had to recover by digging raw .FIT files off the watch with a third-party Android file transfer app, because MacOS can’t read it

Sometimes 40+ min to sync a single run

Battery live is great, but the charging experience is awful - if the port moves it just stops charging

Most mornings I can’t even get a weather snapshot, because it doesn’t auto-sync

The UI in the app is a nightmare, it’s so difficult to find anything

Anyone switched off Garmin or has better experience with a different watch?

[Kevin Peterka @KevinJPeterka]

@PreslavMihaylov @herdrdev I wanted to avoid that but if there's no way, I'll fork it...

[Kevin Peterka @KevinJPeterka]

When running dynamic workflow in claude code, the agent status shows as idle in @herdrdev . Is there a way around that and show the status as 'working'?

[Kevin Peterka @KevinJPeterka]

Yesterday, I developed a really deep respect for anyone that has run a marathon. I never understood until I completed a 15 mile run.

15 months ago I wasn’t able to run 2mi without stopping.

I always thought running gets easier as you just get used to it and that super long runs would be comparable to how 7mi run feels when you just started running more consistently.

It’s nothing like that. Past mile 13, not only your body feels miserable, keeping your mind in the right place is even harder… And it just feels endless.

@landon20s @robotaxi I don’t see Chicago in the app… Are they just testing for now?

[Kevin Peterka @KevinJPeterka]

@talkelley3 @Garmin That gives me hope that Garmin will help resolving that and I won’t have to switch.

[Kevin Peterka @KevinJPeterka]

@DominikBulaj @Garmin The best move for Garmin would be opening up the data and device control for all user via mcp/cli.

[Kevin Peterka @KevinJPeterka]

@dbfssecret @Garmin I mean, that's a downgrade from fenix 8 :)

[Kevin Peterka @KevinJPeterka]

@Garmin Sent - thanks for looking into it!

[Kevin Peterka @KevinJPeterka]

@Rasmic Why do you still need tmux? I completely replaced tmux with herdr

[Kevin Peterka @KevinJPeterka]

@elijahmuraoka_ Easier to manage multiple sessions. Sidebar with agent activity is helpful. Very easy to manage sessions across the workspaces for an orchestrator agent.

[Kevin Peterka @KevinJPeterka]

@elijahmuraoka_ Try Herdr, I switched from tmux over a month ago and I couldn’t recommend it more.

[Kevin Peterka @KevinJPeterka]

@neogoose_btw Definitely agreed, I moved to herdr from tmux over a month ago, and I can’t imagine switching back.

[Kevin Peterka @KevinJPeterka]

@wikiwayne Will it save you enough to justify the cost?

[Kevin Peterka @KevinJPeterka]

@dhh I just can’t imagine leaving Apple ecosystem… Hopefully, they’ll deliver a good version of that in September.

[Kevin Peterka @KevinJPeterka]

@TedTamas @synopsi I think the reasons could vary more than you assume. The obvious one is probably not even half the market - but that's my guess, I haven't seen any data.
