Side hobby insantities not limited to 'ee degree hobbies'! -> Many companies got started as 'side ventures' aka Facebook, MS Windows, Dell, Nerf and multitude of other companies.

Use VR / simuations to cut down on Milton Hershey[1] cost issues. Simulations can allow for 'timing the tarrifs'.

North American FPGA's may be a thing again! (once pi systems superceeds lambda systems as the multi-FPGA board connection theory of choice :-)

Save on robotic automation costs via software scripts!

Perhaps 3d printed circuit boards will now be a more realisitic alterntative than traditional outsourcing board production? [2][3][4]

Perhaps there'll be some motivation/inspiration for creating/combining standard programming logic/language/3d 'threaded' sock it programming by combining (2021) mathematics of knitting[5]; and more modern / inexpensive / upgraded 'general computational device' derived from apollo guidence computer[6] concept. aka instead of wasm, weave-em.

Do have to get over the 'stich in time, saves nine', since most modern computation 'saves in 8'. Easy to unravel program(s). Tight knit spreadsheets!

But, computational e-ink might scale better using DBOS concepts[7].
