Most of your posts, after I read them, create the question for me, "Then 
what?" I understand you enjoy creating the tools. But beyond some point 
doing that over and over becomes meaningless. It becomes like what 
computer enthusiasts do with their computers. Upgrade and upgrade to the 
best that's possible. And then, instead of taking the next step, they 
just wait for another upgrade of the computer to become available and 
jump at it doing what they'd been doing before, tens of times :) 
Hahhahahhahh :)

Same with the OS. Same with their cars. I guess same with their wives, 
kids, etc.

They never take the next step. Not anyone in this forum anyway.

I remember after a couple of years of married life, one Saturday morning 
after we had our breakfast in the nice patio, I turned to her and asked, 
"So what are we going to do?"

 From the reaction I got on her face it was clear she did not have the 
slightest idea what my question meant. Eventually she said, "What do you 
mean?"

I said, "What is our next step?" She didn't understand that either and 
got silent and just continued her thoughts without actually answering me.

The meaning of my remarks was Chinese to her.

I'm different. I'm still taking "next steps."
