Tbh I’ve kinda drifted from programming more and more. I can’t escape it, but I find myself much more interested in other things nowadays. Over the past year that’s been a handful of more physical side, as you note. Notably over the past year I’ve become fascinated by lasers and other applications of light and RF. Unfortunately the things that make me weak at programming make working with these things near impossible. Not to mention the cost of tools involved. It was pretty common to come up with a cool project idea and find hardware that would make my like 100X easier only to find that its not sold to consumers and if it is its way outside of anything I could afford. The most practical think I’ve turned to is retro networking. It still involves some programming as a lot of this stuff needs hacks to make it work together these days, but I try to avoid it when possible.
