I handwire keyboards. It's just like tying fishing flies except I burn my fingers sometimes.

I follow Keebin it with Kristina on Hack-a-Day but have yet to make the initial dive into custom keyboards. Definitely on my to-do list.

Yesterday I was looking at Donald Knuths Art of Computer Programming, and the book store had a "Often bought together with..." recommendation for a book about knitting inspired by the finnish national epos Kalevala.

Yeah, all the cool kids are knitting.

Knitting is also knitting for nerds. There's so much math involved if you want it to be!
-
I would love to be able to knit sweaters

Well its not like you can get paid for it anymore.
-
I mean, it's my day job, so I do get paid fr it, but it's much more enjoyable as a hobby.

I'm so envious that you have it as a job and a hobby. When I started coding I'd hoped I'd be one of those people that just whips up stuff in their free time for fun, but after finishing work I just find myself not wanting to code 😔
-
Yeah, but if you don't have a programming job, the market is kinda shit right now.
-
Agreed, you can actually accomplish things.

Not really

Bro I feel called out. 👁️👄👁️

I'd posit that it's closer to woodworking
-
I can see that! Though I've not done woodworking since my Scouts days, so I didn't even think of that comparison.

So is making chainmail, but from the opposite angle.

My brother made chainmail as a hobby
He did it as a job for a bit too, but it was a hobby first.
