Electrical engineer with a lot of C/C++ programming. Part of my retirement motivation was worry about drifting off during meetings and not paying attention. Probably not helped by thinking about FIRE. I used to be able to sit for hours programming, with a mental model of the entire program structure in my head. My brain just doesn't do that anymore. So its not that fun now.
I turned our house into a smart house, all the switches and remote controls, plus smart anything else that looked useful. I have implemented some automations for it, so some very simple programming. I added a NAS as a media server and local backup drive. We both drive Teslas. Seems like I might have reached the limits of what I can maintain at this point. So the next step might be seeing what comes along to simplify all this stuff, kind of like my recent portfolio moves.
