The hope that one of my side projects will some day succeed, and I can leave my 9-5 is the only thing that drives me. If I said, "welp, legal" i'd die inside.

I was checking out your side project but couldn't figure out what it was/did?

  It's a store.

  Sorry, it's pretty poor quality. I've gotten out of it what I want though.

Same here. While I've worked for larger companies who are onerous about side project, that's been a large reason I've left and tended to avoid them. It's just too much effort to play along with them even if there's no overlap.

That's beautiful. I went through a tough time when I wasn't sure if I wanted to be software engineer anymore. Working on my side projects not only made me go through that time, it made me truly happy. Reminded me why I am in this in the first place.
