       Ask HN: What you up to? (Who doesn't want to be hired?)
        
       Instead of talking jobs, what is everyone up to otherwise? Any
       interesting going on in life or with your hobby project?
       Unfinished and novel ideas are of course most interesting, so feel
       free to share anything you're thinking about!
