I’d rather be writing the software that will replace my job.

I find myself trying to spin up three different mostly unrelated businesses plus hit fitness goals plus build a relationship, and maybe even steal a couple of hours now and then for friends, family, and community, all while still tied to a full-time job. I am a madman.
