Getting ready for another batch of submissions today for Version 2 of @getmycardsapp
Besides unit testing, we have a 50+ device matrix testing, and >300 user test cases for each device, then there are API tests, security testing and various other
A lot of this is automated, but still takes time to run in the background. Codex computer use has definitely enabled this to run faster.

Gideon Adlon’s work this entire season has quickly made Devon one of my favorite Star Wars characters. I’m gonna piggy back on this post because it’s got the perfect clip for what I want to talk about musically for her here 🧵 1/2

Gideon Adlon’s voicework of Devon REALLY has to be commended. There’s a rawness to it we haven’t seen before other than with Sam himself as Maul. She pulls off that livid anguish tone real well. #MaulShadowLord

I just want to hug Maul, but also slap him across the head.

Oh Maul, you lovable tragic character you. Maul: Shadow Lord was really solid! Lucasfilm Animation continues to tell some of my favorite Star Wars stories. The animation was insanely good. Loved all the characters. Keen for more.

@jconnorholliman Nice one! I go back & forth on running with headphones. A good time for me to catch up on my podcasts 😅
P.S. - got an app on the App Store that tracks your running if you want get more insights. Search for “Stacking run metrics”.

Just finished a 10 mile run (longest run since my marathon) without headphones
Man, there were so many moments I wanted to stop
But I know from experience runs that make me feel like that make me stronger
Because when I can push through the mental hurdle of the physical feat ahead of me, I’m reminded I can do anything I set my mind to
You can too

@seraleev @Amir_HamzaFahim Also app dev here trying grow my apps. Why not monthly? Just curious.

@nieldlr Lots of running and walking! Basically run everywhere I go now

Been doing this thing where I run to all my workout classes within a mile or two. I find running to a destination much more motivating than a treadmill, plus is faster than driving when you factor in parking. A few months in and I’m in the best cardio shape I’ve been in years!

Here’s just my running for April. Very choppy & stop start. But not complaining. My health is in a good place and grateful to find a routine that allows me to find time to be active.
Niel de la Rouviere@nieldlr
This is the peculiar thing about consistency. April felt off. Got sick after a race, then the youngest got sick a week later. So had a lot of running gaps. But kept walking when it felt right to do so. And yet, it’s nearly my most active month ever.

Also for real though, full rest days are also awesome. Listen to your body. If I was more sick, I’d definitely just rest. Obsession is also not good. Just aim to do a little bit everyday. It adds up!

This is true for all exercise also. People have this idea that exercise should be hard. We’ve been duped by the no pain no gain messaging. Make your exercise easy enough that you can do it again tomorrow. Rinse & repeat.

The marathon training hack no one wants to do is running easy enough that you can do it again tomorrow.

Urgh. So weird. Was just about to finally catch up on this week’s Maul episodes, but for some reason the latest eps don’t want to load for me. Other stuff works on Disney+, except these two episodes. Anyone else having issues?

Got my walk in. Dogs needed it too. Glad I did. The sunset was so pretty!
Niel de la Rouviere@nieldlr
Still sick. Poor kid. Nothing intense, just the usual going around. Taking it as easy as I can. There's always more running later. 👍
English
@byronrode Thanks!
Aye, gotta count my blessings. Good luck there with your injury 🤞

Kid has been sick. So sleep has been rough past two days. As much as I want to keep running, even just easy, I’ve been here before. All my energy is going into making sure I don’t get sick. So only walking for me. Don’t mind though. Love my walks!
English
Why I like running, it’s an antithesis to our fast paced life. People want shortcuts. Results now etc, but with running can’t cheat it. Just gotta show up week in week for months & years.

Coming from lifting, one of the weirdest parts of running was how long the feedback loop is. In the gym, progress usually felt obvious. More weight. More reps. Better set. Running has not been like that for me. You can stack a few good weeks and still feel basically the same. You can be fitter and still have a random bad run because it was humid, you slept badly, or your legs just decided not to participate. That used to drive me insane. Now I think it’s part of why I like it. Running makes you trust the work before it gives you all the evidence. Annoying, but probably good for me.
