plausibilitieson The Yoda of Silicon Valley

There are individuals out there who possess sufficient cognitive capabilities such that they do not require much in the way of cognitive load mitigation tooling even when working on very complex and technical tasks.

These individuals are uncommon.

"Learning material" for actually-advanced folks can be freely found on Github/Gitlab, as well as various Slack and Discord channels.

One simply has to muster up the motivation and effort to seek them out.

Me.

I currently maintain a 2.3x bodyweight deadlift and 1.5x bench press while working a relatively tame & laid-back salaried dev job.

Can't do IF (multi-day, anyways) without losing lean mass anymore. Used to be able to until I started plateauing on my lifts.

My guess is as you gain more and more lean muscle mass, there's some arbitrary threshold (which differs person to person) at which your TDEE begins to exceed viable intake within a limited timeframe.

I specify "viable intake" because your body's nutrient uptake rate per hour has some given limit - anything over that limit usually just gets pooped out later.

Restricting timeframe for eating during the day (break my fast after work) seems to work out okay though.
