I’d really like to do some personal projects, both to learn new stuff and scratch my digital itches.

Likewise. There are so many things I'd love to do. Hell, I'd even love to just practice and improve at things that I do in my day job. My current job requires golang and while I'm competent, I'm nowhere near the level of comfort that I want to be. And that's just the language, there are other libraries, technologies, etc. where I'd like to improve too.

But unfortunately, I have to pace myself. And that basically means I can never do anything computer-related in my spare time. A part of me hopes that some day, I can reduce my hours, or just find a very chill job that still pays decently so I can do more important things in my spare time. But for now, this is the choice that I've made.
