It’s getting harder to find tracks to run on in the Bay Area. Here’s a list of what’s open (and what’s not):

2020’s been a bad year in a lot of ways. I’ve been fortunate that I’ve been able to keep training throughout the year. Despite having no official track meets to attend and despite dealing with a couple injuries, I closed my 2020 track season faster and stronger than I’ve ever been before! Not only have my weight room numbers skyrocketed, I set PRs in every distance (60m-400m) I compete in!

In this post, I walk through my training, recovery, and competition in 2020, and gather learnings for next year.

Four years after leaving CMU a school record holder and captain of the track team, I’m faster and stronger than ever! With a few years of self-coaching and more than a decade competing in track meets, I’ve learned a lot about what works and doesn’t for me as an athlete. This post sets down some high-level athletic principles I abide by. They apply no matter what sport you play or what goals you have. First, of course, you have to have a goal!

I’ve been in Boise all month! I’m enjoying my team here - I’ll make sure to write about my time here after I return home to California. This month, I’ve been really motivated to write - I’ve published 5 blogposts! Hopefully the habit sticks.

At work, I’m devoting about half my time to recruiting. Running several interviews a day is pretty stressful for an introvert like me. If you are or know a software engineer looking for work, help me out by checking out our job description here!

This post dives deep into a scary data loss scenario - we’ll cover identifying the data loss, investigating the root cause, and finally recovering the data.

This bug affected Readwise users who exported their highlights (both manually & automatically) to Roam on 10/27. If you are one of those users, you should contact Roam support & use my recovery code ASAP!
