You don’t bother with their experiences, their perceptions, their take-away impressions, the way they move through your environments or see your world.

There are lots of good reasons to always have some side-projects going

  • Projects keep you learning. New programming languages, new technologies, new ideas.
  • Projects are mentally refreshing. Taking a step away from the problems you normally deal with is relaxing, and can lend a new perspective on how you work.
  • Projects can be fun. Fun is fun.
  • Projects can be profitable. Little ideas can turn into products and services that people want to pay for (or at least click ads on). Unusual ideas can forge new markets.
  • Projects make you friends. Getting involved with a community is rewarding personally and professionally.
