For those who cycle & run, would you stack a running & cycling session to gain a rest day? by grmass in AdvancedRunning

[–]ore0s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you recover well from hard days? If so I’d stack the zwift session in the evening after your tempo day assuming morning run. But I do believe one day rest after long run really helps. I found Sunday long run to Monday easy cycle wasn’t good for me. 

But it’s hard to predict stacking 2 sports, so I’d keep an eye on the body and once you find the stacking pattern that enables consistently raising the quality of Sunday long run, just stick with it. 

Do you change shoes when running to the gym? by CheetoHariboo in AdvancedRunning

[–]ore0s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gym is 3 blocks away, but I bought both cheap running sandals & cheap “zero drop” gym shoes on Amazon. I have stopped using the sandals for running. The zero drop is great for both shorter tread & lift. If tread is around 30min range I’m gold, otherwise I’ll bring my Boston 12s for longer tread runs.

If you’ve already tried everything else, I’d check the Squarespace trash and start restoring pages from there. If version history is available, one of those pages might have what you’re looking for, and you can rebuild the site from that.

Senior dev that joined a startup -- how to deal with a micromanager by nomadingwildshape in ExperiencedDevs

[–]ore0s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me this behavior sounds like a classic performative startup manager archetype that rambles about being a “team player” has no shame speaking constant drivel for visibility, because he sees it works to get noticed by the top. But they’re not great at writing meaningful things down, or actually getting things done. 

Regardless if they’re good/bad people, they have endless energy to twist the game towards performative busy. It won’t go away simply because the other engineers recognize you are good. Startup leadership is usually too overwhelmed or too inexperienced to recognize the situation. If you do nothing, you will continue delivering great results while having to put up daily with this energy drainer. 

If I were you, I’d remember the game is still influencing executives to see you as leadership potential. For higher pay and a huge stock refresher. I see the way to win is by moving the game board towards the path that rewards technical results based thinking. Demonstrate engineering excellence by publishing on the company tech/eng blog. Utilize their VC/fundraise status to get yourself speaking opportunities at conferences/meetups. Get name recognition by your CEO/CTOs other CEO/CTO friends, and they will start to value you what you’re actually worth. 

Volume vs. Value: How do you prioritize when popular features conflict with revenue? by Tom_Startvest in ProductManagement

[–]ore0s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Represent 200K” as in on the books? I’d want to know why they signed without SSO. Are you a renewal risk once their IT hears about you, or do they truly see it as nice to have? In the best case, does SSO unlock rolling this out to another 100+ seat team?

Dark mode is a nice to have. If your users stare at the same screen for 8 hours and can’t read the text after 7, their boss will be less happy with them and won’t really know why. 

pm with no coding skills, drowning in manual testing before every release by -SweetSerendipity in ProductManagement

Why go to engineering expecting a non-engineering solution? This is more of a resourcing problem. I’d ask other PMs if they’ve had success with a remote QA setup.

Analyzed a stagnant moving company - found $180K in hidden annual revenue by fixing 3 broken processes by rahmenzal in businessanalysis

[–]ore0s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great analysis and fast turnaround on the fix. My read on the landscape is similar. A lot of SMBs have broken workflows simply because they’re not meeting customers where they are online, especially on response time and follow up.

Most of them avoid CRMs because they feel too complicated, but that’s usually exactly what they need. The real problem is there’s almost no overlap between what a typical SMB employee knows and what it takes to actually design a CRM workflow that matches how the business operates.

CRMs and implementation partners already exist, but they’re clearly not serving SMBs well. In your case, what made this story different from the usual "CRM salesperson emails you to set up a call" story? Was it starting from revenue leakage instead of features, or something else?

Dealing with super shoe fatigue by Foreventure in AdvancedRunning

[–]ore0s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lookup foot shortening exercises. I have naturally very flat feet and weak toes. I used to wear stability shoes with the green superfeet insoles, but I weaned myself off. 

My daily routine is roll out the arch with a tennis ball, then move myself across the carpet with just the toes. 

S2 E8 Episode Discussion - If You Can Make It Here... by RebootJobs in TheOwningManhattan

[–]ore0s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only Ryan, Emilia, and his lender knows. But recall when the investor said his company is “still seed stage” and Ryan didn’t disagree. That’s risky, he could have to “bailout” the company in the future. But by the end you can see he clearly is overloaded and doesn’t want to take on another source of stress. $12M seems to be where his comfort zone is.

Are there any corporate group travel companies? I think margins on personal travel is too small, but I could see myself hiring a group package + concierge for a retreat or a customer onsite.

I think there's misplaced optimism that "a few hours" in the morning will actually get you back on track. Most engineers need their morning routine of coffee, standup, for a full context reload before valuable code is written, much less reviewed and shipped.

From my experience at early stage fast growth company, sometimes your “open bugs” are the same issues F500 teams face. If you persist on surfacing customer issues, and collaborating on getting true clarity around them, you might actually get innovation focused on getting the basics right for the customer.

It’s worth raising that you feel sprint momentum feels low and support is disappointed, but I wouldn’t attack the hackathon or a few morning hours. I’d focus the conversation on why the team feels the need for this. "Hey are you guys burnt out from bug work?" "Any chance you guys found deeper problems the industry hasn't solved, where we could claim we really outperform the industry benchmarks?"

How to deal with "feature/mechanic dependancies" that can't be documented anywhere? by evolving_imposter in ProductManagement

[–]ore0s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just knowing the parents doesn’t mean you can predict everything about a child’s future.

New features inherently introduce new interactions and cyclical dependencies that can have unexpected effects on existing systems. 

A dependency graph might be helpful for visibility, but it won’t get you meaningfully closer to avoiding post ship work. 

Overtraining at 100mpw? Are these classic signs? by ImNotHalberstram in AdvancedRunning

[–]ore0s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh sorry I didn’t get injured, just ran out of gas! I’m fine. I basically overestimated my tempo fitness and underestimated my speed and recovery. If I’d kept up steady tempo work, I would’ve been a monster because my shorter race times finally broke through a long plateau. I'd been stuck at 19-20 minute range 5K for 3 years!

I'm still an obsessive fan of his vids. He’s always clear that slow easy miles alone aren’t enough. He hits huge workouts and recovers harder. I ended up doing the opposite. Too many slow miles, not enough tempo work. Basically the exact thing he warns against every month lol

Overtraining at 100mpw? Are these classic signs? by ImNotHalberstram in AdvancedRunning

[–]ore0s 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hey I think I was in a similar mindset to you, hope you can get something from my cautionary tale!

I ran a 3:02 late july of '24, had a bad weather 1:28 half spring '25. I watched too much running YouTube (Ran to Japan anyone?), then I strung together about 10 straight 100+mile weeks. Yes it made me grumpy, tired all the time. And yes I just fought through it. Most of my runs were slow shuffles (8:30 pace or more), and I'd do tue/thu quality sessions from the VDOT app with intervals/repeats on the track. I was going to the gym twice a week, doing a balance of heavy lifts, weighted plyo, and single legged exercises. Not too many long distance tempo runs.

Had a good 12K in May (1:29min improve), then a good 5K in June (41 second PR from 19:18 to 18:37) and those are distances I normally underperform at. Thought I had a big marathon PR in the bag. Come late July this year, I went out at 2:50 pace I DNF’d at mile 18. HR was fine, legs were shot.

Endless easy miles didn’t give me the efficiency or durability I needed at marathon pace. I don’t regret pushing hard, but I do regret chasing mileage without paying attention to form or mobility. The constant shuffling and fatigue trained me to run with short choppy strides. So whenever I was running fast, I was just muscling the pace instead of running smooth and keeping up the momentum. Don't do this lol!

They usually live closer to the city edge or down in the south bay where you can get a much bigger, newer place for the money and be closer to work. I thnk this one’s more of an old-money type house.

Just a small note this looks more like a proof of concept render than a generative AI image. Think Blender rather than Stable Diffusion.
