The other day I have shared the workout tracker I have written for mysef with a friend. Soon enough I have started getting feature requests and suggestions for improvement. I disagree with almost all of them.

The problem is that I use every feature of the tracker, I remove any feature I might not be using anymore, and I implement any feature I want to have.

I have written most of the application by hand, maybe the initial 90%. However, at the end of the line, I have used agents quite heavily and it pushed me trhough the last 90%.

It is okay for something to die.

Here is a little overview of the current most popular fitness influencers, and what you should know about them before listening to anything they say.

The Team

Alexander Bromley

Bro Strongman

My favourite at the moment. Unfortunately the last video contains AI generated animations which I’m not fond of.

Mike Israetel

Science Based Mentally Challenged

Milo Wolf

Science Based Bootlicker

Greg Doucette

Bro Supplement Peddler

Drug dealer with a loud mouth. Has an absolutely insane video editor.

His videos are 90% drama with some workout advice sprinkled on top. His workout advice is extrememly basic and generally good.

Do not listen to him concerning supplements, even if everything he sold worked, he is still very much in the game of peddling turk (which has never shown any efficacy).

Jeff Nippard

Science Based

Lylo

Jeff Cavalier

Science Based

Used to be good, but fell down the trap of chasing relevancy. Probably natural at some point, but hard to believe that one can retain 6% body fat year long at 50.

The Conclusion

… because most writing during most ages was terrible, but the only surviving and known pieces from the past are those which stood the test of time.

❦

This was the conclusion I got to. This article is about the journey how I got there.

These are my notes on two videos by the writer Hilary Layne: Modern Heroes are Weak and Boring and Modern Villains are Pitiful and Impotent.

Both issues stem from the lack of objective morality in the worlds created by modern writers.

The concepts of Good and Evil in modern literature are based on how it makes the reader/writer feel. This makes them extremely malleable and ultimately meaningles.

Readers prefer anti-heroes because they are closer to the classical definition of a hero: “The main male protagonist of the piece”. Anti-heroes are closer to objective morality as they can act, whereas modern heroes can’t.

Finally some good new has come out of the AI world.

If you thought piping curl to shell was bad, the AI crowd has decided to turn the knob to 11.

Thanks to the likes of Openclaw¹, we will soon be able to hack anything and everything, the way 90’s movies convinced us we could.

And we will be able to do it basking in bespoke vibecoded UIs, as Operation Swordfish has intended.
