I design medical devices, have designed many real good ones. But that is just work.

#12I'm trying to add a ping pong table to a park next to my house. Got like 2k of the 5k i need so far. After that probably will try to get a dog fence and a pickleball court.

#13While I’m unsure I’ll be using Swift for the rest of my life, I’ll continue to work on my little tool to detect unused code for as long as I can. It’s my most popular open-source contribution, and it brings me joy knowing others find it useful. https://github.com/peripheryapp/periphery
Thanks for your work on this I had no idea it existed, definitely going to try it out.

#18I suspect https://buttplug.io is gonna keep me busy. I’ve already been working in the intimate haptics field for ~18 years and it’s remained interesting the whole time, so no plans on stopping.
Don't you get numb at some point?
Sorry, this subject is too funny. :-)

#19My life's work is surviving. Everything I do and have done has been to keep myself alive to some degree or another. Everything else is just a bunch of distractions and abstractions that boil down to same thing at the end of the day.

Love this answer. Sometimes I feel like "merely" surviving is looked down upon, but the art of survival is the only lasting thing we can hand down the generations. The environment changes so rapidly (especially in the Anthropocene) that usually the best we can do is figure out how to survive right now. Anything else is superfluous if we can't do that.
