I just decided to start asking this instead of ‘what do you do?’ when meeting people. Figured I’d try it out on you folks.

I’m working on an audiobook of a novel I wrote. I have another recording session today with voice actors who play my characters!
Is this an already published book? Or are you releasing it concurrently with the audiobook?
I’m releasing it concurrently with the book. I’ve still got a lot to do before I can release anything however so I’m just doing the chapters that I know are 100% done
That sounds even more stressful. Good luck!
You have no idea…anyways, thanks!
I’m living on an old farm with lots of junk.
So naturally I am building an 8 foot tall wind-driven kinetic sculpture of a Wendigo.
I bought a welder and a cutoff saw. All the materials are retrieved from the trash gully that every respectable high desert property must have.
It’s a form of cope and even ritual magic for me. Embody the spirit of hoarding and greed so it is vulnerable and can be imprisoned, that sort of vibe.
It will take all winter to finish it. The rebar armature is flexible and bobs in the wind. I will add sun bleached oak branches to give it flesh.

I created an email service called https://port87.com
It’s got fancy features that help you stay organized and spam free.
I also create loads of open source software, which I use for it:
https://sveltematerialui.com - A UI library for the Svelte framework.
https://nymph.io - An object relational mapper for Node.js and the browser.
https://github.com/sciactive/nephele - A WebDAV server with encryption, deduplication, and S3 support.
I have a big sprawling scifi universe I draw pictures of. There is a lot of lore in my head for it that I really am going to write down and present now that there are so many visuals.
My body is a machine that turns caffeine into uptime.

Time to get off lemmy. Go for a run/jog/walk in the cold to the nearest stationery store and buy some pen and paper. Then get home and get to writing.
You can do it!
I am a senior data architect and infrastructure programmer. I build the tools and design the data persistence that folks at my company use to build solutions for clients.
Data lake, activate.
Seeing machines, mostly
What does this mean? Cameras? Machines that can identify things via images?
Machines that put cameras in the right place and lighting. Then identifies things.
Mostly agriculture and/or pharma related.
Make other things too. But those are my biggest clients.
A hopeful path towards peace for people who struggle with stress at their job.
Tools that are used to create human misery on a mass scale.
MS office software engineer?
Nope. I’m going to stay vague so I won’t DOX myself, but the only stable job I could find in years is for an organization that doesn’t have the best intentions for humanity (or profit strangely enough) and actively hurts people.
I was in the same boat. When I couldn’t take it anymore I quit. I have been unemployed for just under two years now. Whatever you end up doing, stay strong.

Reverse filantropy. Quite remarkable indeed!
A mess
This month I’m building Bluetooth headphones for a teen I work with, he needs them to function but his parents won’t spend money on them and he keeps breaking the cheap sets he has.
I’m working with a school metal shop to make steel frames for them and I’ve made the cups 3d printable and easy to replace. Of he does manage to break these, it will take no skill to repair them.
I draw angels mostly, but I do draw fanart from time to time as well! I’ve uploaded progress pictures, timelapses, and files associated with my work, too!
Free RPG content, which I’d be happy to share with you:
