    I've unfortunately worked with and left companies that displayed arrogance like that. Heard rumors about other places from people that I know. Thankfully, I've been good enough that I haven't been fired. I have been shuffled around after standing my ground and refusing to work on things that I...

    Are you as fit as Mark Zuckerburg? (Probably not)

    Did a normal workout at the gym, including deadlifts and goodmornings and then did some calf warmups and a short jog afterwards, then tried sprinting from a dead stop. I was totally warm from that workout so I was less worried about pulling something. On all 4 runs, gps watch says I broke 20mph...

    If you were dropped off in another state/country, similar to your own, what would be your moves to achieve financial success?

    IDEA 
    I kind of did this. Quit my job to live in a country in Europe to try freelancing away from a regular job. Spent a bunch of time dealing with legalities/work visa issues. However, my approach was: Try to find companies/people that could use my existing skills, contact them, determine if we...

    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    Started making a pretty simple app that I think some others will use. Just re-learned a bunch of webdev stuff and added basic database skills and am throwing together something appealing but it'll take time squeezed in before/after work.

    Thank you. Thankfully, I kept weight training through my late 20s and my 30s (I'm 39 now), I just never made running much of a priority. I get greedy with progress sometimes and can David Goggins my way into injuries if I'm not careful.

    Had a couple of short running sessions since then, including today where I threw in some sprints just to see. I previously pulled a hamstring trying to go too fast too soon and this time it felt good. The max pace of 3:32/mile apparently is ~17mph, which seemed fast to me, but maybe the watch...

    I mean companies having access to people's exact locations and time, habits, and then selling that without the people knowing.

    Why you should buy a home as early as possible.

    I think I got lucky to get the timing right. When I moved back to FL from Europe/west coast I still had some savings. My rent was at 1450 a month downtown starting in 2020. My renewal this year would've been 2200 a month. That was for a <700 sqft place, but right where I didn't really need to...

    After that 2 mile run yesterday we went on a bike ride for ~16 miles to explore a new lake. Woke up early this AM and windsurfed for ~2.5hrs until my legs were about to start cramping up. Been feeling beat up and out of energy today all day after that, which means I'm probably pushing it.

    Try building something that you expect to be within your capability, but you don't have a set of instructions for. Some people build web crawlers or something like that. I'll often make an engineering calculator more closely related to my day job or something similar that I can check with Excel...

    Wanted a good judge of where I'm at currently. Ran 1.6 miles continuosly then stopped to walk and then ran another .4 miles. Not zuck territory. When I finished my watch beeped in a mocking tone.

    I worked on something like that for a bit many years back and was limited by publicly available data. Then, I found out some companies had access to this data, for a price, and I was a bit weirded out about the ethics of the whole thing because of what it involved.

    Had to look it up. I was on a running streak for a while but got an injury after this and haven't gone as hard. Need to add mileage without hurting myself as it interferes with my main sport. This was last November but I can't do that now. Worthy challenge. Sub 20min 5k is pretty difficult if...

    Replicated a pretty simple layout of a site from example, without having to look up any additional code. Got a lot more done working through some books than I expected this weekend. I think I've cruised through about 300 pages of material (lots of images, and this is re-learning for me so I skip...

    That's really cool! The waters out there can be really wild as well. One of those islands up off the Western Sahara, further up on that map, is Tenerife, which is a huge destination for my favorite sport. I should get on things so that I'm able to go there myself: View...

    I needed that mental time off as well. Too many disappointments and failures were adding up and I think my own self-criticism was limiting my ability to do much else. I'm feeling a lot more refreshed after taking that pressure off.
