What interests do you have outside of coding?

I too like to hike but as a father of two little kids (too little to reasonably come along) I get to do it very rarely. Luckily I was able to do it yesterday with a good friend and we did a very nice long tour through the woods.


At some point I would love to do some long distance hiking. Somewhere remote. My backpack and me. But that requires a lot more preparation.

Beyond that I’m pretty deep into role-playing games. I like to read and try out indie games like Dread (a horror game with a Jenga tower instead of dice), Ten Candles (again a horror game, literally using 10 candles), Everyone is John (a hilarious competitive one-page RPG, where every player plays a voice in John’s head), and loads more.

At the moment I’m running a Blades in the Dark campaign, where the players embody a group of scoundrels doing heists in the victorian, ghost-infested city of Doskvol. It’s a great game which elegantly captures the feeling of heist movies in it’s rules.

If I don’t pretend to be a responsible parent, hike, or roleplay l like to indulge in some video games (recently bought a PS4), a series, or a book. Right now I play “Deus Ex: Mankind Divided”, watch the 4th season of “13 reasons why”, and read “Wild” by Cheryl Strayed.
