In this episode of Syntax, Scott and Wes talk about fitness — how to stay in shape as a developer, nutrition, goals, and more!

DevLifts - Sponsor

Refactor your body with DevLifts. They have a few different programs: 1) fit.Start (normally $19/month) has a few options (lean, bodyweight, and strong). Workouts are delivered via email each month, with access to a Slack community for questions and accountability. 2) Premium (normally $199/month) is a custom-tailored option, where you get your workouts and nutrition advice after answering a questionnaire. They also check in with you each week via Slack to see how it’s going and make changes if necessary. Get 50% off fit.Start plans with code SYNTAX and 50% off Premium with code TASTY.

Sentry - Sponsor

If you want to know what’s happening with your errors, track them with Sentry. Sentry is open-source error tracking that helps developers monitor and fix crashes in real time. Cut your time on error resolution from five hours to five minutes. It works with any language and integrates with dozens of other services. Syntax listeners can get two months for free by visiting Sentry.io and using the coupon code “tastytreat”.
