InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
Side note: I really liked Axis and Allies, played it several times as a young adult with a few close friends.
There is a nice open-source implementation of it, if you want to "play" instead of work. [0] However, it misses the social part.

Code golf [0] can be a fun outlet if you want to learn a new angle of something you already know. Similarly, I've recently taken to building extensions for things, e.g. a simple utility for Chrome [1], since it allows you to go from nothing to something useful super quickly. Outside of coding, any form of art is beyond liberating — music, dancing, etc. You use your mind in a completely different way and it feels like a fresh breeze blowing through the hallways of your head.
