Two side projects: Tomotcha and Requires.io. Tomotcha (https://tomotcha.com https://tomotcha.com) is a Japanese green tea subscription service (inspired by Bemmu's Candy Japan). Requires.io (https://requires.io https://requires.io) is a spin-off from a now defunct Continuous Integration service to track python dependencies. As a software engineer Tomotcha is more challenging to work on, as it doesn't involve much tech at all: it's all about logistic, customer service and marketing. I will admit that I'm not very good at it yet, but improving slowly. I think a side project is the perfect opportunity get outside of one's comfort zone. For instance we are currently completely reviewing the packaging of our tea shipments... It should be ready for either November or December.
