We are inheriting about 50-100 bonsai plants from father. All my life I’ve been wondering how he’s been caring for them, but never gave a chance to actually learn from him.

Tech: 1. Rust, I quite like it but I still need AI assistance. 2. Desktop app dev, I'm making one in Tauri and love it, now I want to "go native." 3. Lower-level AI stuff, so far everything has been with APIs, and while that's great it feels a little too abstract. 4. Leetcode pattern matching. (Grumble grumble, but when job-hunting in Rome...)
