Where’s the power lifting side of Bluesky ? 205lbs (93kg) front pause squats for 3 reps. Not long ago this was a 1 rep max without a pause. Consistency is key. Don’t skip leg day 🫡 🔥

Honestly love that in this day in age, Wikipedia has become the most dependable source of information because actual humans are involved in the editing and publishing process (well at least I hope they still are). Can't believe my teachers used to tell me it could never be trusted!

Today marks 2 incredible years at @harper.fast 🎉 I joined as a software engineer and now I lead Open Source Engineering (OSPO). Grateful for how much I've learned, and for the entire team that mentors and trusts me every single day. And the best part is I still get to write code!
