Apparently I study timekeeping so much that I can program a clock on a graphing calculator without using any timer function.
It takes a fixed amount of time to alter a pixel on the screen, and when carefully crafted, the pixel clock itself serves as a timer.
I'm actually currently testing such a clock demo on my Casio right now.

I do almost the same thing as a(n unpaid) hobby that I do as my (paid) job. I'm a software developer who writes open-source software on the side.
I've also seen a few of my other hobbies grow into serious industries with real employees. The (hobby) drone industry and the 3D printing industry are quite large and growing (I assume).

I write software for fun and give it away. I also write software for money and don't give it away.

My current favorite outside of gaming is selfhosting or homelabbing. Maybe not to a high degree but I manage four local servers and one offsite, with four websites. It’s pretty fun but makes me super stress when it fails. One of those websites is a work related database but it’s also very fun to manage.
Another small hobby I have is managing my own small library. Using LOC codes I learned from the library. I inherited a massive collection from retiring profs.

I got really into cocktails a few years ago. No way I'd be able to keep up at a real bar, even if I probably know more cocktails than many of the bartenders I've personally interacted with (TBF I haven't been to a bar since I really got into cocktails, and before I got into it I just went wherever it was cheap).

cycling and drumming (in a band), not easy to find the time with all the other stuff (chores etc.) that has to be done

I make and publish music but not popular enough to live off of it.

Linux Sysadmin here.
I have a couple open source apps/scripts that have tens of stars and ones of forks. I'm also getting into micro soldering to fix electronics. Mostly for myself but I'll hardmod or fix friends equipment for cost of parts. I've been known to buy a broken console, fix it, mod it, then sell it for some extra cash to buy more soldering equipment.

According to my ex, I'm pretty good at defending the horrible actions of others in a conversation

Timekeeping?
Yes, as in the studies of everything between keeping up with time zone rules, knowing when the next lunar eclipse is (in the USA that's coming up shortly early morning March 14), and even learning and understanding how long different CPU instructions take.

Kind of the opposite, but I void warranties for a living. Pays pretty well too.

Apparently there are people who receive monetary compensation for drawing comics. Some apparently can even do that as their main job. That's what I heard at least, they seem to be rare.
