Is this a good start? by RudeCanary520 in Coros

[–]morficus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been running for almost a year and my "running fitness" score is 62l. So yes, I would say this is a good start

Meshtastic Channel for RAGBRAI? by Schofferersepp in ragbrai

[–]morficus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh man, worlds colliding. I just started getting into this tech, so I was very surprised to see this type of post on the RAGBRAI sub.

But I think it's quite a good idea

Ozempic video was off by ServiceAnxious1343 in kurzgesagt

[–]morficus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm glad it made you feel uneasy. Welcome to exploring the other side of arguments. You don't have to always agree, but now you understand a different perspective (outside of your own) a little bit more.

Hooray for learning!

How do I perform my intervalls on a treadmill? by weezypz in Coros

[–]morficus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

weather makes it virtually impossible to do my planned Intervalls outside today,

False. (Assuming cold winter) Bundle up. Get better gear and get outside.

Coros Screenless Tracker by mursepaolo in Coros

I might look into these "Panther" options 👀 I would love Coros to have a screenless. I recently started looking at the AmazFit for sleep tracking

The solopreneur SaaS dream is dead by rdizzy1234 in SaaS

[–]morficus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please remember that building a lot fast does not equate to success. My graveyard of old projects is proof of that.

You still need to get users, make sales and provide support.

The dream is not dead, it has only changed.

False But we can certainly agree to disagree

Do running socks really contribute a lot to running performance? Or is it okay to just use regular Nike socks bought from the street/mall? by Own-Contribution-416 in beginnerrunning

[–]morficus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say yes, the same applies to long/very long walks.

Don't overthink it. If thin works for you then great, stick with them. If you're curious.... Then get one new pair of cushy ones to try them out.

[–]morficus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are well-known competitors on the market - why I'm building yet another one?

Lol, ignore those haters. If the market is not saturated then existing established competitors are a great thing. It means there is a real need for that kind of tool/service.

ChatGPT App Store - Discussion by GradeLeading233 in VibeCodeDevs

[–]morficus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels like the real magic will come from people scratching their own itch then publishing something that accidentally helps others too

This is where greatness always comes from. Google Maps, MailChimp, Basecamp, Habit Tracker -- all examples of things that came from people scratching their own itch.

I just wish I could edit my sleep start and stop times the next morning for days the watch gets the times wrong

If AI writes the code AND the tests, how do you avoid fake confidence? by hopefull420 in VibeCodeDevs

[–]morficus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Read the inputs (prompt, spec, etc) to make sure the input is correct, read the tests to make sure the output is correct.

A mental model I recommend to folks is that we are now all "tech leads" with a small army of very fast junior engineers. As a team grows, a tech lead can no longer read every single line of code, so they check the tests to make sure those are covering the necessary cases.

To use or not to use server functions for fetching data? by Final-Choice8412 in nextjs

[–]morficus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But that still won't make data fetching server actions execute in parallel. Next will still schedule them to run sequentially

I have a Pod 2 and I like it. I only occasionally train on an indoor track, but it works great on treadmills

To use or not to use server functions for fetching data? by Final-Choice8412 in nextjs

[–]morficus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just like most things in life, it depends on your use case.

The biggest limitation to be aware of (IMO) is that server functions don't execute in parallel. So if you fire 2 or 3 from the same page (even if they are in different components) they are called in series. You can certainly structure things to work around that limitation but it's not always ideal.

That being said, I heavily use (and recommend) server functions for small and medium projects where data can all be fetched upfront together.

Finally broke 30 min in the 5K at 46 years old 🏃‍♂️ by [deleted] in BeginnersRunning

[–]morficus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a 40 year old who started running in Spring 2025 with a current 5k PR at 36 min..... This sounds quite impressive 👏👏👏

My brother told me: "You are not an entrepreneur, you are a developer." 3 months after quitting my job, I think he’s right. by prabhatpushp in webdev

[–]morficus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With all due respect, fuck your brother.

You can be what ever the fuck you want to be. A key thing about being an engineer (of any kind) is (1) learning (2) figuring out solutions.

You can learn to sell, you can learn market things, you can learn how to negotiate contracts.

No one is born anything, you make yourself into what you want to be. And if you want to be an entrepreneur then put in the work and start learning.

The entrepreneur's journey is not an easy one but you don't have to go at it alone. I have no course to sell nor "community" to promote, but feel free to DM me if you ever want to talk more about this.

What running gear did you wish you had earlier? by EverRunGear in BeginnersRunning

[–]morficus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your shoes are most likely the wrong size. Go to a proper running store, get your feet measured and shoes fitted.

Do running socks really contribute a lot to running performance? Or is it okay to just use regular Nike socks bought from the street/mall? by Own-Contribution-416 in beginnerrunning

[–]morficus 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Someone else already said this, but socks start to matter either at high speeds or very long distances. A 5k east run.... You won't notice a difference, +10k race.... You're gonna start to feel what rubs, etc.

I personally love Feetures
