Wow, definitely an interesting story. Sorry to hear about your son, though he's also lucky to have someone like you watching over him.

Thank you for sharing!

Very cool. Do you run a farm or has the purchase turned more into a rural home?

As I get older, the idea of "coding for fun" is very much akin to "being an author" or "artist". I appreciate those who appreciate the craftsmanship of it all.

Kind of the difference between writing blogspam versus short stories, maybe?

Either way, great site + thank you for sharing.

WOW, this is beautiful. Have you written publicly about this?

One of the things I am upset about is grocery prices and the fact that people buy unhealthy food to offset rising prices... I ask myself what an "open source grocery store" would look like.

Have you thought of "open sourcing" your business model so others can do something similar? Or learn from it? Either way, I'd love to hear more if you have anything public.

I'm more on the data sci side right now, and am interested in commodities trading and geopolitical analysis. Less lucrative (well, the latter is, anyway) but seems more important + interesting.

I'm not posting because I'm making an imminent decision, though -- more that I see people discuss transitions every once in a while and am curious what challenges they see + how they overcame them.

Thank you for asking!

How did you find the new opportunity/space? Was it an easy shift?
