I would open/start a music studio. Fill the space with great gear and still cater to the “in the box” software approach to recording and composition, but also make it a great creative space and a place to get demos and ideas into finished records. I’d be in house engineer and more producer than technical engineer, assisting on songwriting and sound design etc. I would aim to make the rates affordable and would actively try and engage less fortunate communities and artists with discounted pricing and/or free workshops and sessions.
Naturally this costs quite a lot of start up money and doesn’t tend to generate much in the way of cash flow, so I think it will just be a dream, unless money were no object!
I enjoy how fast and easy I can work with Node + a non relational db for quickly prototyping a new idea or just experimenting with implementing a new concept.
Keeping it super simple on the frontend keeps it enjoyable / fun by avoiding React. HTML with templating or Vue is great to move quickly and not get bogged down in technical detail and just create/design.
I was a late starter. Finished uni later than others and took my time, changing careers 2 times before settling into tech.
I've never been held back or had any roadblocks (other than the ones in my head). Its time that society gets rid of the myth that you have to do everything right now, have everything sorted out young. Its a journey and its great that you have found something that you are more passionate about.
There's a Google Docs plugin to embed them. They are not very clear in the doc but you can see a good outline and link through to the actual chart for viewing.
Google Docs + Lucidcharts.
The Docs format works well as the organisation is deeply embedded in Google Suite and Lucidcharts allows me to quickly produce architectural diagrams.Code snippets and other information can be formatted to make it easy to read and I use links where required to other technical documentation where required.
Having just finished Charles Petzold's Code book, and reading all about relays and building up a fully working computer solely using relays, it's amazing to see a real physical working relay computer! Incredible work!
