Anil Dash: Which kind of former coder are you: baking bread, too many synthesizers, or woodworking?

Which kind of former coder are you: baking bread, too many synthesizers, or woodworking?

cameras, anil. come on.

Also, tabletop role-playing games

cameras is a kind of "too many synthesizers"

you don’t know me

some of them garden, sir

Farmer/homesteader is definitely another category.

gonna be me 🙏

i got my house specifically to garden and not code and all i get is code and no garden. one day

🥰😘😘😘

[quietly puts my handplanes and chisels away] I don’t know what you’re talking about

"Too many synthesizers" doesn't exist if you went Modular, Anil.

It can get close. This was only 2/4 racks. They're since packed up mostly, but every now and then we spend a day pulling them out to fiddle around with.

Just @ me FFS. Oh, and watchmaking

Rare personal library management variant 😌

This was apparently prophetic because I have just turned in an application for a carpentry course. Do you have any jaunty engagement questions about picking lotto numbers? 👀

Fresh out of the oven. Only a few bugs. So nice not to have QA on my ass.

Ok, that bucket+plywood set up is just really great! I must implement something similar! Why didn’t I think of that?

It’s not even plywood, it’s the lid of an old failing compost bin (flimsy wood frame covered in chicken wire). There are long cheap garden stakes running across to help support flats. Broke-ness is the mother of invention. I have jumping worms so I try to keep things off the ground.

Oh, even better. But I have to ask: jumping worms??? 😱

Def gross

still coding but transitioning to full time traveler

how can you be just partly a time traveler? just little jumps back to warn yourself that that recipe isn't going to turn out?

Is fountain pens and origami woodworking?

Por que no los tres?

Distilling

technically baking bread but it's just kinda general cooking interest

Librarian and aspiring used book store owner

you bastard (...potter)

Don’t leave out knitting! Baking bread is definitely one of them for me.

Oh I might get busted on the knitting thing too, but not as badly as the keyboards. 😳

Don't forget: Still clinging to your 20+ year old webcomic you started in college.

At least you’re using one of those domains

Baking bread. I was a woodworker before I was a coder

You woke up this morning and CHOSE this violence, Anil.

All three!

enamel pins

we need a remake of Too Many Cooks but with synthesizers

yes

woodworking, thx

well I'm reading this from the pottery studio, so...

Took the search for a manual keyboard a little too far.

Wool spinning.

I was a guitar player first. Now that I've retired from coding, I'm writing my own virtual guitar amp and pedals.

Oh my god. I'm still coding, but I'm also baking bread, woodworking, and am sort of interested in synthesizers...
