Not sure it will "solve it"... yet following Adam's (Douglas?) suggestion to become top-25% in three fields. Then merge those fields.

That has worked awesome for me. I merged technolgy (software dev/sys adm) with motor sports and with management. Love it so far. Good luck and Merry Christmas!!

Got curious, and it looks like it was Scott Adams, at least the source I found https://dilbertblog.typepad.com/the_dilbert_blog/2007/07/car...
Too bad there's no good payable intersection of software dev, video games, and three position bullseye rifle. Hah :(
Actually there is. When my daughters were on the Airgun 10 meter team (recent national champs), I spent some time investigating how to create a low-cost SCATT system using a relatively inexpensive laser with 3D-printed mount, USB connected cameras, and OpenCV. Something kids could use in a hallway at home vs. the range. The solution was very feasible as I got to the point of mocking it up and testing it. Daughters decided to drop shooting, and other side-dev projects took over. But you sound like you might love doing this. Cheers.
Being a developer and watching a lot of movies, I should pivot into making Apple TV apps because most of them are really bad.
Sounds like VR is the answer!
