Fun side note: my goofy K projects gained enough recognition to land me an interview with a large consulting firm whose backend systems are written in K.
The interview experience itself was, to put it mildly, surreal in the best way. I'm now in the process of relocating to NYC to start a new job there.

So, uh, I guess the lesson here is occasionally weird side projects can result in unexpected new career paths?
