Cardio-Driven Development
I’ve been hard at work on some research projects and new roles that require me to learn topics I don’t know about (or at least have mostly forgotten about). For example, someone on my team came out with an interesting Linux kernel LPE and I felt like it was my responsibility to know everything I can about that exploit so I can help with disclosure or reporting. I run. I’m not fast. I don’t go particularly far. I just do it. If you’re a runner you might have thought about different running “zones.” Running fast is good for anaerobic work, while slower runs are better for aerobic. The test for whether you’re in Zone 2 is can you have a conversation while running or not.
