This is all really cool and inspiring. It makes me think “i want that!” but then I pause and think about it and the aggregate seems exhausting to maintain.
Are you actually able to get anything done at speed and scale with all of this FOSS and the finagling and wiring etc. it takes to maintain?
Does it make you a more effective and successful lawyer?
Does it increase/decrease the amount of time you have with friends and family?
It seems like this is a bit of a hobby, a bit of a marketing statement given the law area, and requires a very technically savvy lawyer to operate this system.
