More sleep, restructure training

With the cap wake up time at 6:00AM. Go to bed before 10:00PM. If I wake up before 6:00AM, then up and train. Else alarm at 6:00AM. Saturd...

I cannot outsmart biology

For years, I had been on 6-7 hours sleep schedule; usually at the low end. Work. Train. Eat. Had coffee every day in the morning. A consistent pattern showed up: • Feel sleepy kind of all day.

Running training strategy in 2026

How well: Technique Tyre walking, rope flow, awesomizer, skipping, happy hip hack. Run "fast" with fluidity. Not trying to run fast. How fast: Speed Speed work. Engage more ass muscle at faster speed, shorter time. How far/long: Endurance Long run ranging from 15km to 21km or 28km. "Slow" with good form. Comfortable running and breathing.

As ... what?

Sometimes we see As a software developer As a project manager As an architect As ... [what-ever] As if you can deliberately separate your mind to play a complete differently role at different time at will. Human is a mess, a beautiful mess. Messy inputs, messy outputs. Try to remember a time when we were angry, yelled at others, even o...

Visual studio 2026 default theme

As far as I remember, Visual Studio (VS) has a default Blue theme for years. It is simple and easy for me. I am kind of color-blind guy. I am fine with colors in rainbow. I think there were discussions and debated in VS team. And they had reasons to change. I just do not get it personally. It is one of the many things in recently years...

The predictive brain

An interesting information I heard this morning from the book "Explore Gene": The brain guesses the surrounding environment, so the world around us, and then sends signal to peripheral sensors. The sensors send back the actual information to the brain. It will calculate the delta. The goal is to minimize the delta. And the brain is con...
