It has gone

I trained in minimal shoes for a few years. I can run barefoot for a reasonable surface and distance. I ran a marathon in Sandals. I ran barefoot on the dust and grass in childhood.

There are cushion shoes for runners. There are debates of which types are healthy. Cushion shoes are constantly evolving. Some people are enjoying barefoot or minimal.

The context has changed. The dusty and soft road has gone. One has to travel far to the mountain or countryside to have it.

In the new world, concrete is everywhere. The buildings. The street. Flesh vs Concrete is a dump competition.

I have changed to cushion shoes. I enjoyed it a lot. A few years of minimal shoes has helped me tremendously.

Oh, I want to talk about AI in Software Development. The things we knew last week has gone. Take what you have learned and welcome the new days.
