@q3k Perhaps get into Consciously Prosocial Tech? Dig up the old People's Computer Company materials, and try to revitalise the old principles with the new tools that have been developed in the half a century since then?

@q3k Running a bar (pub?) is very hard work. I've learned a lot about it because of a program I wrote to help running them. Edge cases upon edge cases. And in the morning you have to clean up after the customers who wrecked the place. But I know a lawyer who works behind the bar once a week. For fun. This looks like a good work-life balance.

@q3k The customer I am doing the project for once mistakenly sent me an invitation for advanced forklift training. I've answered them, that I do not have basic training yet, but I'd be glad to get it. To this day I regret they had not followed with an invitation for the basic training.

@q3k just make sure it‘s far enough from the current tech blast radius, otherwise you might have to ask yourself the same question a few years later again
