Loved this morning. Included a nap in today's routine. May start napping more. > asleep before 9 pm > up at 5 am > 8h sleep, no wake events > work 2 hrs with fresh mind > 50 min strength > 12 min HIIT (30 sec sprints, 1 min recovery) > 10 min flexibility > 43 min, 200°F dry sauna > hit core body temp 102.8°F / 39.4°C > breakfast + work > 1 hr nap Sauna at 200°F for 43 min is intense, coupled with exercise, induces strong sleepiness. I was lights out for that 1hr nap. Woke up feeling it was 10/10 quality sleep. The nap is a longevity therapy: supporting growth hormone release, glymphatic clearance, muscle protein synthesis, and cognitive consolidation. I'd been skipping it because once the morning protocol ends, I'm dialed in as a builder. But I may be a better builder and rejuvenation athlete if naps are part of the daily routine. Especially on high exertion days.

The idea of "one shotting" an app using AI is a fugazi. If you had to describe my app and all the edge cases I have solved over the years, it would be a prompt the size of a small book, and my app isn't even that complicated. The people promoting creating a business overnight with AI are just selling a get rich quick pipedream. Those grifters are present in every cycle. AI has completely transformed how I work, but you can't push a button and make money. Doesn't work like that.

an open secret is that italian manufacturing is goated the idra gigapress and salvagnini lights-out sheet metal systems are a couple examples. "oh but there's 2 weeks in the summer where no one does any work" - china does this in winter. maybe this is just a rule.

Walking alone through a foreign city at night and realizing how far you’ve come has to be a top 3 peak moment of all time
