I've been learning to bake from scratch, and have successfully made several different types of bread, cookies, muffins, and biscuits. I am hoping to soon try my hand at making pastries.

#912Been working on https://www.codingtrivia.com. It's an iOS / Android app for preparing for interviews and learning programming skills by playing trivia.
Built it mostly to scratch a personal itch as I wanted a way to be productive and learn in a more lightweight and enjoyable way.

#916I've been creating a single track mountain bike trail at my parents farm. Learning how to build sustainable trails, manage erosion, using proper grading on hills, and build fun features has been a great challenge. It's like extreme landscaping and woodworking combined. Then you get to ride your creation. I've been running the "operation" a lot similar to creating software with sprints, testing, and planning -- excepts sprints are hard labor, testing is riding bikes, and planning is waking up in the middle of the night with an idea for a new line.
There's a book by the IMBA (International Mountain Bike Association) that has extensive guides on how to create all sorts of features sustainably.
