@alexstyl Lekker! Anywhere on the "Atlantic Seaboard" (Green Point, Sea Point, Mouille Point, Clifton, Camps Bay, etc) Gyms: - Virgin Active - Planet Fitness - Horizen Gym - Motley Crew - Lota of other smaller ones

@ricknout Cape town has been on my radar for a while. which areas would you recommend? do u know gyms like the above?

Fit people of the Internet, I need your help. I'm looking for my next place to stay for about 3 months. The focus is losing fat (cutting). Right now at ~33% body fat, goal is to get to ~15% or maybe lower body fat next year. It can be anywhere in the world, will head there January 2026. The requirements are: > have a gym where people are serious about lifting weights (no instagram/commercial gyms) > be able to buy meat and veggies easily > access to fast internet access in the area I LOVE gyms like the pics. One is Muscle Factory in Bangkok, the other one is Legends in London. The ideal place has some sort of social scene as well (either at the gym or outside). Walkable place would be fantastic. PS: No, I don't take testosterone etc. just love the vibe of such places.

@alexstyl @heyrikin Finally! Sounds awesome and can't wait to try it. Keep crushing it @alexstyl

@Betraydan Buffer 👍

Is there an app that can post to: X, Threads and Bluesky? Finding an increasing need for this.

@edpratti @evowizz @its_sasikanth

@evowizz @ricknout @its_sasikanth It's an honor to hear that! "Hands on with Material Components" was how I started learning about Android's design libraries years ago. ❤️

Observation: I'm finding the quality and polish of Android apps to generally be on the up these days. Lots of delightful moments ✨

(As for the startup idea... It may not be what you'd expect, but I'm very excited about it and will share more when I can!)

I've updated my personal website to reflect this: ricknout.dev #opentowork #android #jetpackcompose #designsystems #kotlinmultiplatform #figma #uxui

Howzit (again) 👋 I'm back from a small break and am excited to share that I'm splitting my time between freelance/contract work and a startup idea.

I'm excited about what's next and will share more on that soon. I'm not quite open to work (yet), but always open to conversations 😼

For now "going solo" starts with taking a small break. It's been a wild ride in tech / personally / the world over the last ~5 years. I'm privileged to have kept a job throughout but, I must admit, I'm burnt out and need to regain focus and energy.

Howzit 👋 2024 is my 10th year of working-professionally-for-other-people. After careful consideration (i.e. lots of overthinking) I've decided it's time to take the somewhat scary next step of going solo.
