The ROI of exercise | Herman Martinus Link to heading
The argument to focus on Quality of life-years instead of Quantity of life-years is compelling. A part of me related to the ability of focused hard work translating into sustainable energy into other aspects of our life.

Agentic Engineering | Zed Link to heading
This series by Zed Industries is worth following. I really enjoyed the episode with Mitchell Hashimoto about his appraoch to using AI Agents while developing software systems. Key takeways include:
- Thinking more like an architect.
- Allow AI Agents to use tools to achieve the desired outcome.
- Comment what the code implementation as a way to build redundancy (AI can flag any discrepancies now)
And I look forward to Steve Yegge’s episode next.

Why I Maintain a 17 Year Old Thinkpad Link to heading
In general, I find physical artifacts to be almost always fragile to the effects of time (including plastic). Thus, I don’t feel comfortable about discussing the notion of anti-fragility in the context of laptops. However, the argument to differentiate between Thinkpads and Macbooks in terms of longevity, and repairability is appealing. Especially considering that I have never owned a Thinkpad, and recently bought a couple of new Macbooks.

Sorting Go Slices Link to heading
This article makes a strong case for using the “generic” implementation (provided by the slices package) for sorting slices in Go.
I have used the sort.Interface interface as well as the sort.Slice function to sort slices. For precisely the same reasons listed in the post, I have never felt comfortable with either of them. The next time I need to sort a slice, I will make sure to give the slices.Sort function a try.
