This #longrunsunday I ran my #72 #halfmarathon and hit my 2,400mi yearly goal a whole month early (2,404mi)! Route was Carnation -> Fall City and back (16.09mi, moving time 2:43:48).
It was a brisk and misty morning -- winter is coming to #pacificnorthwest!

Highly recommending this talk from AIE/CODE 2025 on how to code effectively as a team with AI:
* With coding agent, 40% of your context window is “smart zone”. Once it’s passed, expect more slop.
* How do you know you should start a new context (task): when your coding agent says “You’re […]
