I like working on side projects (based on whatever is trending in tech at the moment, think LLMs, generative AI etc.)
I also like climbing, hiking, bubble tea, and collecting old movies in my native language and upscaling them.
Oh so many, great. I have to admit, I've never heard of bubble tea before, but it looks really interesting! Do you prepare them? And are there many different variants or flavors to choose from?
I draw rarely but I think I draw instinctively well (sort of gifted if you want, nothing to be proud of, nothing spectacular neither, just some ease). No doubt if I had training I'd be a decent artist (I'd be mostly interested in drawing anatomy, natural things, etc.). But well, I sort of totally preferred computers the last 40 years so, drawing was not much developped :-)
I learned cooking on my own with a book that is given in some schools where they teach catering and cooking. So I got the basics of french cuisine (I'm french speaking). Took me 2-3 years to understand things. I'm more in traditional cuisine, which is old be heavily documented (and hard to master nevertheless :-)). I did it because I wanted to do something else than coding and something that doesn't require spare time: I cook for the family :-)
Learning to draw should be more frustrating if you don't "have it", but you can for sure (people undersestimate how good they can draw). OTOH, learning how to cook gives much quicker rewards !
Woodturning. Projects involving AVR microcontrollers. Beehive maintenance. Long-range shooting/sporting clays. Coding toy projects to learn new languages or techniques. Amateur radio, mainly antenna building.
