Very compelling and would be fun to learn something new. Need to research if the 3 month launch constraint can be accommodated or better to outsource. However the act of coding and learning again is very attractive. Thanks.

You’ve already got a lot of great advice. I’ve been in the same position and would submit I’m still in the same spot. What has helped is “scratching an itch”, trying to do basic things. The feeling of accomplishing something, even small, is
