      I didn’t even know my current goals were a thing when I was 17.

      I’m currently solo-creating a physiotherapy game console that helps sick kids have an enjoyable and better experience doing their health-preserving physiotherapy. That’s my current hobby project. And it’s all open source with the build plans available for parents who can’t afford to buy a ready-made version.

      At age 17 I didn’t even know that’s something one can do.

      What I mean, it’s good to have goals, but life isn’t over when you achieve them.

        Good on you for not selling it to some “Healthcare” company that’ll sell it for 10 grand a pop, or 9 after insurance.
