Many users praised Garry Tan merging PRs on a treadmill as a productive hack worth trying, while others dismissed the approach as ineffective or mocked it.
* to be fair these things go in waves, i'd been working on most of these for a few days and they seem to all get to ship-quality in conductor sessions simultaneously
Biggest life unlock: treadmill desk
Got up at 5am, walked 4 miles, and merged 13 PRs to main before making breakfast for the kids and getting them to school!

@garrytan All voice control? Or some other walking-friendly input method?

@garrytan "never delete a user tree" doing more philosophical work than most architecture docs written by committees

@garrytan ok im late to the gbrian game i haven't tried it yet

@Ujjwal_Tyagi_ Don't bother nobody will in 10 years, might as well live in the future now

@garrytan Garry is this tweet done by your ai agent?

@Ujjwal_Tyagi_ No dude

@sameen_husain @garrytan this made me laugh

@garrytan @trevin built a treadmill cli after printing a @ppressdev Bluetooth har sniffer last week for the one he uses! Walkingpad https://printingpress.dev/library/devices/walkingpad

@garrytan Which one did you get

@garrytan 13 PRs before the school run is genuinely wild. walking pace is weirdly good for code review focus, keeps you in that light attention zone

@garrytan Alright this actually sounds solid, im in, ordering mini threadmill asap!

@garrytan walking desk people are always one software update away from becoming hamsters

@annaeremburg Ah yeah, lmao

@p_chip1 can't drop PR's from the bench... yet... hmm gives me an idea

@garrytan how do u context switch from a trivial rename pr to a complex state recovery pr in minutes?
does your review bar stay the same for both while u go?

@garrytan Same here! Just set up a laptop stand on my treadmill too. It’s been a game changer.

@garrytan how did you get PR reviews so fast?

@garrytan Treadmill desk sounds like a menace, but 13 PRs before breakfast is nuts.
