- Startups might be the new SDE1 while trying to do stuff outside of capitalism might be the new startup.
Not in terms of financial reward of course. But in terms of rewarding career off the beaten path.
Personally while I want to do a startup I am finding the boring path you mention quite fascinating!
- It is good for ballparking. PR count is more interesting as if it is high it means you must have a good CI CD pipeline. I worked places where there were limits on commits a day due to monolith plus master CI/CD taking an hour. You then end up thinking of strategies like "I'll do that in the afternoon and get it to that state and it gets merged at this time" and so on. Which is inefficient.
- Not every PR is a feature. There will be lots of laying groundwork. Stuff going in but not yet activated as a feature flag. Small changes often make roll back easier. Regressions easier to detect. You can blue green your little change and auto detect if it is causing latency or availability issues on 1% then 10% etc. of traffic. This means you can early detect and do easy roll backs as nothing much has changed.
Downside: your code is always a Frankenstein monster of feature flags that need to be cleared up! But hey that's more PRs to boast about.

Maybe the reference is implied though?
Shit that's horrifying.
I have health issues and walking 2km a day to try to help fix. So I see 2km a day as basic. 6-10km run a day would be "fit" IMO. things as humans are designed to walk.
Living in suburbia means I have to walk "for the sake of it" although I cam make it useful e.g. get some milk!
As for cold. Anything above minus 5 should be OK just wear stuff like skiiers wear which can be got cheap off brand.
