I work in municipal administration, raise goats on a small farm, and automate things that bother me. At work, at home, or in the barn — if something is repetitive and a computer could do it, eventually it will.
Work, home, farm. Same brain, different problems.
I'm an administrative professional in Eastern Ontario. I support a municipal planning department,
which means a lot of paper, a lot of legislation, and a lot of things that repeat themselves.
Outside of work I have a small hobby farm — 6 goats, 1 dog, and right now 12 silkie eggs
in an incubator that my kids check on obsessively. I put a camera on it so they can watch
from school. That's the same instinct that built the planning tool.
When something bothers me enough, I figure out how to fix it.
I'm not a developer by trade. I just got tired of waiting for one.
