I salute you. I’m completely different. Most of my side projects are code. I briefly gave up spare-time coding in 2017 for CrossFit, and in 2001 for kayaking, and in 2022 for studying Chinese. But it always comes back. I just love to code. I sure would like to find other things as interesting. I mostly had R&D-like positions, and working in a new field all the time. I’d like to acquire more domain knowledge outside of finance to grow my own business somewhere, but learning new things has just been so tempting.

> I briefly gave up spare-time coding in 2017 for CrossFit, and in 2001 for kayaking, I hope you didn’t decide to give up fitness for coding in your spare time and you are now balancing the two. I still work out around 3x a week. > and in 2022 for studying Chinese We moved to Florida two years ago. I keep starting to learn Spanish and giving up on it. There is an entire culture I feel like I’m missing out on.

  Yeah, I balance them now. You gotta find someone to talk to. In my case, I talk with my mother-in-law every time she's here. Currently I'm transcribing some of her diary entries on the first day of my son's arrival.
