went to cancel google workspace on an old domain i no longer use, got a 30% discount offer to keep it, cancelled it anyway
went to two other domains i run through google workspace, went through the cancellation process and was greeted with a 70% discount offer instead, even better! i didn't want to cancel these, but a nice little deal to be had

coding with ai is incredibly boring, change my mind
developers are problem solvers, there is no fun or gratification in writing prompts for a machine to do the work
coding exercises the brain, and when the novelty wears off from having ai generate features quickly... are we just glorified copywriters with tech knowledge?

you don't need bigger or better possessions, you need a better you
you need to feel good, every day
without that, there is nothing

if you always feel low on energy, or sick of sitting on your ass on a laptop all day then and not eating the “best choice meals”… then maybe try running?
i haven’t taken my own advice in 3 years - but i’m back.
tonight was my 46th run since coming back to running, over the Severn Bridge (from Wales to England and back). tough inclines the entire way. i finished 41st out of 338 runners. happy with it.
when i run, there’s no headphones, no distractions, just the wind and the tip tap of my feet, the world feels different - especially at night time when you’re alone. it’s a great reminder of simply being human, to just enjoy the world outside and get off the devices that forever control our modern lives.
and then the next day… sitting on the laptop for a bit isn’t so bad. and once the world quietens down once more, instead of reaching for the tv remote… we attack the streets and let ourselves process the day, the week, the plan. it’s not so much about running and stomping the pavement 10,000 times a night, it’s about a simple timeout that we all deserve and need.
