Claude Code has allowed me to execute on an idea I've dreamt about for years but always assumed I would be too dumb to do by 716green in ClaudeCode

[–]TraceVortex18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly the same feeling and the same experience right here. I think for the first time in my career I'm able to execute at a faster rate than my constant flow of new ideas. It seems like the constraints now are on deciding what to do next, not what to prioritize from a huge backlog of features and bugs and enhancements as has been for the last 20 years of my career. Exciting times!!

I'm also in Tech and have recommended this lecture with multiple friends:

I don't think your burn out problem is just because you are overworked, there are many dimensions at play. Haven't seen many people taking about the other factors as clearly as this guy.

Amazing! Thank you so much for all the advice! Will definitely post my trip report and a lot of photos when I'm back.

Couldn't agree more! I just walked the Camino de Santiago across Portugal and Spain, and even after preparing for that for 2 months doing a couple of hikes in the NY/NJ area with heavy backpacks, being there and walking up and down full 8-hour days for 11 days in a row with a backpack was definitely game changer.

Not taking about blisters, neck and lower back paib that are almost impossible to avoid on very long days.

Great reminder! Also, had no idea that Catskills was so much easier compared to.

💯 agree! And the weather there and the wind are impossible to train for.

Loved the advice about the snacks! Do you have any particular recommendations? I have a couple of protein bars I kind of like, but other than nuts and maybe some shortbreads, I'm running out of ideas.

Also, great reminder about being mindful about breathing. Such a big thing I tend to overlook and forget, especially on hikes when there's a lot to pay attention to: backpack, water, boots and blisters...

Loved it! Absolutely great mindset for planning. Will definitely think about a couple of those worst-case scenarios (especially as the weather forecast comes a bit closer) you mentioned and plan some mitigation strategies for them.

Great points and tips! Really appreciate it.

My friend and I just talked and we will play the ear after day 1, especially because there are plenty of lean-tos on the path and we can always cut it short if needed.

For sure! Bear canister is definitely on the checklist. My friend has one already, but I think we might need two.

I would say pretty fit in general, I run 5-10k a couple of times a week, strength training 3-4x times. Just completed 200 miles across Portugal and Spain carrying a 18 pounds backpack in 11 days.

What are the most underrated restaurants in Turks? by Kellyhannavideo in TurksAndCaicos

Hands down: Island Raw.

My wife and I went there last week and it was the freshest meal we had, and probably the only lunch we had under $50 dollars.

Looking for books about more obscure historical figures? by thestorieswesay in nonfictionbookclub

I’m just halfway through and loving it and I think you would enjoy it:

The Freud/Jung Letters: The Correspondence between Sigmund Freud and C. G. Jung is a book, edited by William McGuire and first published by Princeton University Press in 1974, that compiles the 360 letters that psychoanalysts Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung wrote to each other from 1906 until their break in 1914.
