  • I’ve been using my bicycle as my main form of transportation since late 2019, when I had just recently moved into a tiny dorm room and had independence for the first time. I was put off of learning the bus system at the time because uncertainty about employment made me hesitant about even a $2 fare and the routes I would need to take before the 2021 systen redesign were significantly slower than biking. That, along with not really knowing many people at the time (for carpooling), meant I pretty much had to bike everywhere, putting up to 30 miles a day on the bicycle depending on what I was doing. Thankfully, I already had the leg strength from years of purely recreational biking.

    Since then, I usually only pick the bicycle for trips of up to about six miles in length (per direction), plus or minus a couple miles depending on how suitable of a route I have for biking. The majority of my trips fall within that range. Anything longer than that or any trip where I need to bring a ton of stuff with me and I’ll take a bus, train, or carpool to my destination. The end result is that I went from thinking “I’ll get a car once I get situated” to “I don’t need to get a car for the forseeable future”.






  • The few times I have used git bisect, it has been on projects with no automated tests where the reported issue last worked far in the past. It isn’t my first option, but it is what I turn to if I can’t figure out what the correct internal state for some portion of what triggers the issue is supposed to be, saving a lot of time I could have spent banging my head into a wall.
