I retired in 2016 after many tears of programming. I kept on programming in the recreational style. Trouble is, I often run out of fun ideas. I did go through most every useful program I have written and asked for an AI version in another language. Am embarrased to say I usually liked the AI version better.

I built a checking program in C# to mainly use as a check register and balancing tool. Doesn't do double entry accounting. Also build a simple notes program in both C# and python that can use the same data file. Also did a cheap and dirty internet radio player on an old Rasp. pi. Used one push button to cycle thru a list of internet radio feeds. Plus an led that flashed the index of the list which gave me an idea of which station I was on.

Read the Christian Bible. Even if you are not religious its worthwhile to read it from cover to cover.

A little pricey for something you can have done for free, at least in my area of IA.
