Completing four development tasks while on a trail run

1•scottfalconer•5h ago
I tend to tend to get my best ideas when I'm not sitting in front of a computer.

My general workflow was:

- Be out. - Think of idea. - Make a note on my phone. - Hopefully remember to look at it later. (Rarely happened)

but now it's:

- Be out. - Think of idea. - Kick off coding / creative / research agent to do whatever I’m thinking of. - Review when I’m home.

Why make a note when you can just as easily start doing the thing?

So today I put it to the test and decided to see how much dev work I could get done while on a run.

My workflow: Kick off an initial task, head out on the trails, whenever I got to a shady spot, check the tasks, merge the ones with passing tests, and start new tasks as needed.

End results:

~5 miles through the Boise foothills. ~550ft elevation gain. - 7 development tasks kicked off. - 4 pull requests reviewed and merged.

Development tasks initiated, developed, and merged while on the run:
