Can you mention some downstream effects such that your life was changed?

I made the study of mathematical logic and the connections between set theory and type theory and formalization in Agda my full-time focus. Increasing physical disability ended my career as a performing musician a few years ago and I had a life-long interest in philosophical topics connected with infinity. In the past two years I've written over 100,000 lines of Agda code as a product of my learning and research. I'd like to figure out a type-theoretical translation of the set-theoretic large cardinal axioms at the level of measurable and beyond.
Sad to hear about your disability.. but somehow your path in life is fascinating.
I think they just mean that they wouldn't necessarily have heard about or got into Agda otherwise.
Now read their answer :)
