What would you do if not program?

Brick Mason.

First project - a pizza oven.

2nd project - the planting beds (blue half wall) and fireplace in the middle

I actually quite enjoy it, but have run out of landscaping tasks that require brick work, haha

Carpentry. Or maybe cardboard prototyping. Assuming I would have tools and skills (the former) and somebody would pay me (the latter).

Write and perform music. Maybe write books or articles. Maybe something with languages like translation or tutoring. I could do OK in any shop with tools that makes or fixes things. I'd probably be happy working with animals.
