Hit day 2,000 of getting outside to break a sweat… and I wrote about it (with lots of photos). Big lesson: it’s hard to be the same person in different conditions… weather, travel, mood, injury, life. Curious… what’s a habit you’ve kept when motivation wasn’t available? linkedin.com/pulse/same-per…

If you work in a code base that feels heavier than it should, Don MacKinnon explains why the real cause is often unnecessary structure, unclear layers, and too many ideas packed into simple problems.

Who doesn't enjoy winning a new software programming book?
Robby Russell@robbyrussell
I try not to play the vague-tease game, but this one is worth it. We've got an upcoming guest on @_maintainable whose name is on the Agile Manifesto. One of the original signers. Care to guess who it might be? To make this more interesting, we'll be raffling off six copies of our mystery guest's most recent book. Here’s how it’ll work: 1. Be subscribed to the Maintainable.fm newsletter 2. When the episode goes live next week, I'll send an email about it 3. Hit reply to that email, and you’re officially entered into the raffle No forms. No tracking pixels. Just… reply like a human.
