can't believe no one else has asked me this ☺️ and no, I gave up doing hands on work... back around the time I stopped managing engineers, come to think of it.

(and I have nightmares on the regular about never being a good engineer again)
However, I gave it up because I was doing a shit job as CEO due to lack of focus on vision and other new skills I desperately needed to level up on.

When you can retreat back into that place where everything makes sense, it hampers your development. For me at least.
I have daydreams about someday when everything is groovy, then I can take some time for building things. It does feed me, I do miss it desperately.
But fundamentally the way I am wired is: I do what must be done. I don't find joy in fucking around.

... with tech, I mean. Fucking around *with tech*. (caught that just in time) ☺️
