^ for context, Jeff S also has a vast array of technical hobbies whether it's restoring early 1980s microcomputers, tearing a subaru WRX down to its smallest discrete pieces and rebuilding the entire drivetrain, or designing his own home solar power system... He's basically a modern polymath of nerd like pursuits. Jeff is the CTO version of the guy who wants and needs to "Get his hands dirty" in the cutting edge of whatever technical discipline he's engaged in, for the purpose of keeping himself mentally sharp and fully aware of the subject matter at hand. Even if he buys subaru engine parts from a specialist he puts a lot of time/research into thoroughly understanding what he's putting together. He's kind of locally well known in the pacific NW nerd community for these things.
