As a freelance developer, I wish the situation is better, but I just take the work I can get and do other things when I'm not working.
A side project isn't strictly for learning or an investment to find a job. You fail to understand that a self employed person operates in a very different world of thought than an employee.
- chiefalchemist 9y agoJust to let you know, I've been self employeed for 10+ yrs. I'm confident I understand that world :) For me, side projects are "this is the diection I want to take my career (but no one yet has asked)." The crowd (aka The Market) might be "smart" but it can also be slow. If you're not ahead and/or anticipating then someone else (aka your "competition) certainly is. The arc of the point - I think :) - is to get into a position where works chases you, and not you chasing it. It's not easy. But it's certanly possible.
