It's hard to mimic the full experience of @beat81_fitness at home, but I thought that at least the data part can be replicated. And so GT81 was born - a personal, web version of the in-workout dashboard. πŸ’ͺ Use it: gt81.honza.xyz πŸ“– Read about it: itshonza.medium.com/beat-81-…

This might seem so obvious to me now, but when we started @BackHQ_, we did not get all of these right. Too much process, complex stack, and not enough shipping. Over time we removed process, hired the right people, and focused everyone around simple and ambitious goals. 1/2
β€œHow to ship fast as a small company looking for product-market fit” β€” by @varunsrin @farcaster_xyz is one of the fastest engineering teams I’ve ever seen… Here is how they operate:

And it worked. No JIRA, no tickets, no sprint plannings. Tech stack stayed, but we found a way to make it work. And then just talking to customers, clear priorities, and shipping cool stuff as a team. Good times. 2/2

A little over 4 years after @janiszech first introduced me to @egg_ert, we're getting started on a different (yet similar) journey. Yesterday we announced that @BackHQ_ is joining forces with @PersonioHR, and we're really thrilled about building the PWA vision together.
Congrats @egg_ert & @jameslafa about joining Personio. Soooo many good memories from analyzing Future of Work problems to solve, founding @BackHQ_, onboarding @its_honza as the first crazy one to join, building v0.1 & attracting the first customers like @remergeio... Rock on!

Personally, the last 4 years have been really crazy, but I'm really glad I had the chance to build the Back product from the ground up πŸš€. I'm really proud of the things we shipped and the close relationships we built with our customers ❀️. Let's see what the future holds!

So, which crypto project was the guy from The Tinder Swindler involved in 🧐?

I'm amazed by the ease with which I just set up a VPN with @Tailscale to route all my traffic through my home RPi while I'm using the (unencrypted) WeWork Guest wifi network πŸ₯°.

The funny thing about physical and mental health is how closely they're connected. It's almost obvious that when you feel physically sick, your mental health suffers as well. No one likes to feel sick, right πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ. 1/n

Why is that important? With my sprits somewhat lifted, I'm really eager to get back into my old routine. Unfortunately I have to battle not only my motivation, but also my expectations, as I suddenly find myself struggle where I used to glide through. 7/n

I'm powering through, though, and trying to manage my expectations until I get back into shape. Is it hard and frustrating? Yeah. But I believe that I'm now in a better place to tackle it, so let's see when the last weeks of 2021 bring me! Thanks for coming to my TED talk. 8/8

I thought I was going to be bored tonight but someone left a @WeShare_DE car parked in the middle of our narrow street and now the Ordnungsamt is trying to remove it.

At the same time the car is still bookable in the app πŸ˜‚, even though it got briefly reserved by someone. They probably cancelled when they saw the whole situation.

The tow truck just left and the cops parked their car in the middle of the street now while turning their blinky lights for some reason. I guess for more street cred?πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ
