- Solopreneur / Indie Hacker / Tiny SaaS scene. This is more an implementation strategy of my dreams of Financial Independence but I find these communities have large overlap. Building small, sustainable solutions to real-world problems to make a decent living. Not glamorous, but lots of freedom. Communities: IndieHackers and lots of people on Twitter.

- Simple Code. I think most system architectures / frameworks / languages are suboptimal - either being hard to reason about or a pain to code in, etc. So this bucket is about trying to find technologies that actually best support their usecases, regardless of what their adoption looks like. This led me to two scenes: Svelte / SvelteKit for frontend and F# for backend / general purpose programming and is now how I build pretty much all my apps (see: https://cloudseed.xyz). The subreddits for both these communities are good.

- Creative Coding / Technology - I used to be more involved here but now am more of an observer. Basically trying to use the power of computing to create cool things - mostly artistic. This comes in a range of forms but typically procedural / generative art is at the core. Subreddits r/generative and r/creativecoding are pretty active
