My personal pain point turned startup:
I am GenX and have worked in the tech industry since the 1990s; as a result I have 401k's, IRA's and investment accounts in multiple brokerages, companies and websites. I have to work out how I am going to retire in the next ten years or so and I need something that will put all this in one place so I can visualize and genuinely plan for retirement. Nanotoa is how I am achieving that.
I self-published a fantasy book in 2021:
The Boasts of Gods is a fantasy novel set in the Greek Dark Ages [1200 BC] where Troy has fallen to the Greeks, the Mycenaean Palaces are being sacked by Sea Peoples and one small village named Apeontesde on a bluff over the Marathon plain dares to fight back and claim to be a polis. The people of Apeontesde must balance the interests of gods who walk the earth, warriors coming home from Troy who have become mercenaries, a Doric people migrating south and the jealous eye of nearby Athens.

When long form essaying from the likes of Joel Spolsky and Paul Graham started over taking blogs as how people put down their ideas and thoughts on the interwebs, I wrote these essays on my experiences in software from 2009 to 2015:
This was the period when agile and unit testing was becoming mainstream. Companies and engineering teams were working out this was the fastest way to get high quality features to customers. There were significant challenges to adoption though, mainly engineering teams having to change how they worked and organization on how they managed and expected delivery. It is normal now, but was not back then.
I relax by tracking my Corvette(s) at local race tracks in Arizona:
I am on Corvette number seven and document each on on the track days page.
In Australia I spent a significant amount of time researching the Australian Flying Corps.
