Garmin recommends me 96 hours of recovery

That's a PB

[Max East @rknemi]

Sending to my TL a solution to a one year old problem with this image attached today

[Max East @rknemi]

Hit 140kg deadlift, then 145 a week after

This is after stagnating my 5-rep PB for 2 months straight

Turns out, you need to hit a one-rep max once in a while to progress, even though they're scary looking

@HSVSphere Nutshell is the only shell which has heuristicslop on top of heuristicslop.

a.k.a `detect columns --guess`

Still heuristicslop as a defacto FFI is admirable

[Max East @rknemi]

You should not be writing unit tests

You should be writing property based integration tests, with fake IO

People are not ready for this and won't be for another decade

[Max East @rknemi]

Deadlifting socks is a psy-op to make big burly men wear thigh-highs

[Max East @rknemi]

TIL in the US you have to pay tax when your RSUs vest

And they say Europe is a communist hellscape lmao

@wookash_podcast If the code is the code I don't know anything about, I ask questions until I know some things about it

The person who "written" (promoted the LLM) the code should be able to explain what the code does to a sufficient degree, if I'm an appropriate person to ask for review

[Max East @rknemi]

@TheGingerBill Jokes on you I don't optimize for speed

I optimize for comfiness

[Max East @rknemi]

@vaxryy The only positive lua aspects I've ever heard:
- It's small
- end is better than }

Tells you all you need to know

@bluewmist This never happens.

I have drilled into my soul skipping exercises feels worse than not skipping.

I am now an exercise slave who couldn't stop if he wanted to.

@levelsio Tmux is the worst terminal multiplexer, except all other ones.

The problems tmux solves are genuinely very difficult

To have these problems solved, the price of unintuitive defaults and janky configuration syntax is a small price to pay

@HSVSphere Supposedly each time you ship a breaking change without clear guidance, you go up the Norwood scale half a point

@aubymori @rikafeet "The learning curve is too high"

The learning curve:
"Hey Claude, I'm missing a feature, write a plugin that does X when I do Y"

[Max East @rknemi]

Hit a 100kg squat for 4 reps

State of the art AI coding is insanely good.
Programmers are cooked in one to two years.

The last bastion of humanity is having good architectural taste, and nitche algorithmic proficiency.

Both of which I have no reason to believe AI couldn't improve in.

[Max East @rknemi]

I'm not afraid of AI taking over chess.

They prioritize controlling the middle too much.
They are getting tripped up when I start with weird openings.
Garry Kasparov didn't get swept by Deep Blue in 1997, he lost only by a full point, 2.5 to 3.5.

Every tuesday it seems like the JavaScript ecosystem comes out with the "newest greatest fastest build tool that's gonna change the game and have a simple project made with Claude Code in an hour build in under 5 minutes (but will crash, and take down entire tmux pane somehow??)"

[Max East @rknemi]

Bro when sharing commands with his coworkers is like:

Oh I got a short handy shell snippet for that it goes:

s "s/$(n 's')/$(l -l | o | g ^s)"

[Dmitrii Kovanikov @ChShersh]

I alias every Linux CLI command I use to a single letter.

a: awk
b: bc
c: cat
d: date
e: echo
f: find
g: grep
h: head
i: git
j: jq
k: kill
l: ls
m: mv
n: env
o: sort
p: ps
q: cp
r: rm
s: sed
t: cut
u: uniq
v: vim
w: wc
x: xargs
y: yes
z: tar

This saves me ~4 hours/year.

I spend these 4 hours telling others about my optimised setup.
