I tend to dabble too much than is probably advisable (from a strictly career optimization perspective), but that's simply because I'm super curious and never bored. I get distracted by shiny new technologies, sometimes it turns out to not even be worth it.
But you know, we all gotta lead the life we wanna live, and I'd rather have a slightly worse career if that means I get to spend time chasing my curiosities
I hope the little daily puzzles are not distracting you too much from your career obligations ;)

Same to you :) I imagine it takes quite a bit of time to curate and find the puzzles, and then writing them up as well.

Yeah, I've moved this activity to my night time just before hitting the sack after i realised it had taken me an hour of normal working hours. Whatever normal working hours means in academia. I'm also contemplating moving SN to my blocked website list when I'm in the office ;)

I’m glad you’re doing this in spite of the time it takes up. I don’t understand the solutions but it’s fascinating to watch brilliant minds at work

Have you had moments where where your eclectic interests just align out of nowhere to create something beautiful for you?

Yes, Bitcoin! Perfectly aligns with my intersecting interests of economics, computer science, math, physics, and even libertarian philosophy

Me too
