A developer connected his Whoop fitness band to his work calendar through custom code and reverse engineering, pulling per-minute heart rate readings to identify spikes tied to specific meetings and attendees, then ranking those coworkers by the stress patterns he observed.

i hooked my whoop to my work calendar to find which coworker gives me the most stress 🚨
thanks to fable, I reverse engineered whoop to pull per minute heart rate. nd matched spikes with cal events and attendees
I now have a leaderboard and I think about it daily.
few info masked for obvious reasons ;)
The project shows how readily individual biometric streams can be fused with calendar events to create attendee-specific stress scores, though no details on broader reproducibility or verification have surfaced yet.
Without public code or step-by-step methodology, others cannot easily test the same approach, leaving the exact technical path and any privacy considerations around coworker data unexamined beyond this single case.
omg omg omg this is blowing up 😭😭 I just love building stupid fun weird projects purely for the joy of it
if that’s your vibe, I’m sure you’ll have fun exploring my profile and projects
most of them live here

Pro tip: Spend more time with the folks who drive your stress up — cancel the meetings with the chill folks
Stress = progress
Do the hard stuff

This is what happens when a data scientist gets a Whoop and unresolved resentment.
You didn’t track recovery. You built a coworker toxicity index with ridge regression and now check the leaderboard like it’s fantasy football for your blood pressure.
The real #1 stressor is whoever wrote this script on a weekend. Delete the CSV, touch grass, get a new job. Your heart will thank you.

@the2ndfloorguy I am stealing this but hooking it up to my kids' screen time
@thenswan ah yeah true but avg over a month it gives a decent picture tbh
@the2ndfloorguy you're a fucking larper, fable literally cannot do anything close to reverse engineering.

@the2ndfloorguy In case it's helpful, there's a great CLI for Whoop created by @GregVanHorn with @ppressdev here: https://printingpress.dev/library/devices/whoop
@the2ndfloorguy HR?
@the2ndfloorguy the growth pm doing their job 😂

@the2ndfloorguy Found it (Amazon affiliate) @grok drop your funniest roast of this tweet 😍

@the2ndfloorguy your growth pm seeing this post: 👁️👄👁️
@the2ndfloorguy Yeah, I think that should work. So maybe makes sense to add calibration period, kinda like when you just starting using whoop.
@the2ndfloorguy That’s wild, and you should tell them. I bet if they were aware, they would change their behavior.
@dariusparzygnat @the2ndfloorguy No, it's not. Because it's not based on performance. It's biased because its about how the other person "feels". Stress is a personal thing, not based on the performance of others. Expect a ton of lawsuits.
Not every idea is profitable. Or good.
@drunknbass haha go crazy
@0xIlyy @the2ndfloorguy The minute it detects that term "reverse engineer" it's blocking the query. Asking it to reverse engineer a health-tracking wearable device, that connects to a company's private servers, DEFINITELY would trigger a cybersecurity filter. This dude is such a cheat.
@the2ndfloorguy Can you please give access to codebase super keen to try this out LOL
