Having recently picked up woodworking after building my own office desk, this hit rather close to home.

I’ve been software developer for +7 years, and I must say I also love woodworking. Since is something completely out of my scope as developer, it requires patient and is pretty relaxing working with your hands like this. No client changes, no meetings, instant feedback… and no dependency managers.

This.
My friends/family: this is amazing, you could sell these!
Thank you for the compliment, but no. Absolutely no. I make plenty of money at my day job. I enjoy making sawdust and wood chips, and want to keep enjoying it.
