Do you have personal/pet projects you work on outside the office?
Sometimes I have ideas but after a long workday the last thing I want to do is pull up python again.

Here is my current pet project

Yes

Once in a while. I usually start but don’t finish them.

It is always some get rich quick software. Pokerbot, sports betting, stock market algos, daily fantasy sports, etc. I’m a degen at heart.

Probably put the most work into sports betting. Hard to beat the vig. Made a pretty good real time poker assistant. I just needed to speed up the OCR on that and cache betting solutions.

My ongoing home renovation is my personal pet project lately...I often feel like that's far more satisfying and I can see the fruits of my mental labor (with analysis and planning) far easier than I can with anything at work

It’s hard to trust the partners/leadership when they want us to return to office as being better when we increase offshoring? Also, the pressure on billable hours when all that really matters is how much our fixed labor costs vs. how much we can bill (which is usually fixed fee or at least a range) and the fixed labor costs of offshoring is significantly cheaper so the hours don’t matter. Am I mistaken by this viewpoint?
