He must be 37, because I think he is me..?

My wife runs an online fabric shop with a very... focused target market, and I’ve spent countless hours developing and fabricating a product for that shop.

It’s a pattern weight, essentially an 80mm wooden cylinder, 16mm thick, with a metal weight embedded inside.

We’ve sold a grand total of 50 (sets of five) but it’s been great as a way to learn to run my CNC router!

> If I wasn't freelance, I could probably get away with some cloud instance to run all my docker stuff, but I'm dealing with too many different environments, for clients with various different legal requirements making this simply 'not an option'.

While not the exact same reasons as GP, I also need to be able to do this locally.

Tax payers like me, who will grow old and need those carers to be doing a good job. Good use of taxpayer money!

So, if I had spent the time used to create a HN account on reading the article another time, I wouldn't have to feel this stupid...
