1/x The story of the @akdevalliance and growing up in Alaska. 🧵 I can't count the number of times I got asked whether Alaska was part of the US. It's beautiful, but It can be isolating. Especially if you have a niche hobby. Growing up AK, programming was a niche hobby.

Any sufficiently complex database query with business logic will eventually become a query builder. Any sufficiently complete query builder becomes an ORM. Every ORM runs into query specific optimization problems. And the cycle repeats

@RachelCarraway I like the knot cap. Rugged yet warm

@JeffLevin3 Those outfits are great! I really liked the cream cable knit.

This might be the best advertisement Ive seen

@FunkyBrittDazzl Chugach coffee roasters is the coffee you didn’t know you were looking for

@nateberkopec Ah yeah going fully integrated and carbon is nice. Looks like a factor? Sweet bike. Great work on the ftp boost!

@JeffLevin3 Races are too short for fueling to matter. A big bike upgrade and about 20 watts more on the FTP made the difference.

I just got 23rd place in a bike race and I couldn't be happier. I've done ~4 of these amateur races this year where I've DNFd, this is the first one I finished. I even led out the sprint at the end! Lots of hard work finally paid off.

@dvassallo You’re missing muscular endurance. You’ll need specific intervals to get the legs and body to process lactic acid. 4-8min. Form + work on hip flexor mobility. Use a hill (this won’t help your mile but will help max hr) Do it on a hot day 75+ or above. New max HR.

I’m struggling to reach max heart rate in my 1 mile “all out” runs. Why could that be? When I was less fit (2yrs ago), I’d finish a mile at 188bpm (chest strap monitor). Now I’m a minute faster but can’t seem to go beyond 174bpm. What should I train more of to squeeze everything out of my system? What’s my bottleneck here?

@erikfromalaska But I guess it only works if people read the docs!

@erikfromalaska Haha! I love this. Will be using it

I feel like every time a project is waiting on me for documentation it seems to be the thing that ALL of my projects are bottle necked on…. Leading to like a week straight of writing docs. This happen to anyone else?

@erikfromalaska It’s both. We want to state the things we value to help people follow along with our decisions. If they value the same things it’ll help them decide if our tool is the right fit beyond the existing use case and hopefully share their ideas with us as well.

@JeffLevin3 Is the documentation more around how something works or why it was designed in a specific way?

@tanvirraj @haybytes @grafana You bet! I’ll make a post soon.

@JeffLevin3 @haybytes @grafana Thank you for this. waiting to read more about documentation.

@haybytes and I spent 5 days collecting our favorite tools and patterns from the graveyard of projects we’ve built in Go and crafted a web API Toolkit complete with domain scaffolding and observability with @grafana stack. We call it Go TTL. Documentation coming this week!

@haybytes Down! But maybe docs first 😂

@JeffLevin3 LETS DO IT

Working on a new Go web API start kit has be re-invigorated to ship some new features for my scaffolding tool. Just shipped some new pluralization functions so we can scaffold endpoints cleaner in the Starter kit Checkout the starter kit here github.com/levinologylabs…

Check it out github.com/levinologylabs…

@ardanlabs Holy smokes!! That was 3 years ago 🤯. Let’s do it again soon

It’s Throwback Thursday!⌛ Rewinding back to 2021⏪, with podcast guest @JeffLevin3. Watch as he shared his journey as software engineer, entrepreneur, and the previous former director of the Alaska Developer’s Alliance.🤓 🎙️Watch here: youtu.be/yjvpYmvTTX0?fe… #ArdanLabsPodcast #TBT #ThrowbackThursday

@DefenderOfBasic Yes! And then ciesta makes SO much sense. You’ve been active and done something. Eaten a big meal. Take a nap. Go about your day. Eat a light dinner. Sleep great. Repeat. We tend to plug our energy deficits with calories rather than sleep and recovery.

@JeffLevin3 It does feel way more natural to wake up, move, strive, be active, and then have a big meal. Vs constantly having access to food!

Why does fasting/starving oneself feel so intoxicating and creative ideas and inspiration flow so fully. so rich. boundless energy (and how do I convince my partner I don't have an eating disorder)

@DefenderOfBasic With sports I realized that eating needed to be contextual to the exercise. easy workout=eat normal but a little more Hard workout= carbs Big day adventuring= eat lots the day before and eat during Recovery=protein+veg Eased burden of digestion=lighter, ++energy, better sleep

@DefenderOfBasic We eat too much as it is(calories and frequency) without enough expenditure. All sorts of problems with American food. When you fast, your body repairs itself and all the energy diverted to your metabolism is usable for whatever you want.

@benmatheson congrats!
