MDiT for 20260402

My Day in Three for today:

1. I woke up very early to say goodbye to my daughter, who went on a school field trip to Lille, France today. I should have gone to the gym, but instead, I decided to go to the office because I have too much work to finish before the weekend.
2. I was introduced to and demoed an Agentic Development LifeCycle (ADLC) by some of our lead software developers today. They combined the roles of product owner, developer, and UX designer into three agents that turned a query from me into a complete working prototype within five minutes. Wow!
3. My son had his high school prom tonight. As parents, we were invited to watch all the graduates enter the venue. A friend of my son managed to arrange for a 1963 Ford Galaxie as their ride to the red carpet.

My Day in Three for today:

1. Again, a long and energizing day at work today. I enjoyed connecting with my colleagues from Australia early in the morning and checking out with the team in the US early and evening. There is a lot going on right now and it’s important for me to stay (virtually) close to my team.
2. I started reading and learning more about Costa Rica in preparation of our upcoming vacation.
3. Watched ‘Het verhaal over Nederland in oorlogstijd’ (Dutch) to relax from work.

My Day in Three for today:

1. I talked about budgets for most of the day. Not my favorite topic, but it comes with the job.
2. There was a surprise gift in the kitchen when I got home today. It was from our friends with whom we are traveling to Costa Rica this summer. To prepare for the trip they send us a beautiful magazine about Costa Rica.
3. Reading tip for today (NRC, in Dutch, no paywall) about the war in the middle-east: Trump heeft in Iran alleen nog slechte opties en daarvoor ‘zullen we allemaal een prijs betalen’.

My Day in Three for today:

1. I started at the gym today at 7 AM and plan to go again tomorrow, given a busy week ahead. I combined 20 minutes of cycling, 15 minutes of core strength training, and 10 minutes of running.
2. I enjoyed catching up over lunch with Thijs (👋🏻), where we discussed product, strategy, AI, and running.
3. I worked late into the CET evening with my team in the US and am now logging off to give my mind some well-deserved rest.

My Day in Three for today:

1. 1. This 35-minute recovery run was my first outdoor run after two weeks of treadmill training. Mentally, it didn’t go as well as I hoped. Moving on to the next week, my goal is to continue balancing strength training at the gym with one or two recovery runs outside.
   2. I did my annual taxes today and admin today.
   3. I didn’t mind not watching the F1 race in Japan later in the day. While the circuit is exciting to watch, I don’t like the new racing rules at all, and they’re taking away my enjoyment of the sport. I’m hoping for better times after the April break since the races in the Middle East have been canceled.
