2026-01-05 Three Things

1. After two weeks off of work, it’s a grind getting back into the swing of things. I feel like I was re-learning how to be a developer today. Then, while waiting almost an hour for my code to build (don’t get me started), I remembered exactly what it was like…

2. Even just a 20-minute workout greatly improves my mental health in the middle of the workday. (Tabata be damned!)

3. I’m saddened that Tim Walz is stepping back from politics, but I get it. I want to see a democratic fighter who stands up to the maga bullies, but he shouldn’t have to put his family at risk to be that person. Pritzker, wanna step up and throw some haymakers?
