Like you I have a handful of these I [push to github](https://github.com/PeteW https://github.com/PeteW). Like you I dont tout them publically ([well except one time](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13271522 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13271522 )) because: 1. I take my full-time job as a very serious obligation requiring good honest work every single day. If I felt like I couldnt offer my full-time job this sort of honest commitment then I'd immediately search for a better full-time job. 2. I dont have kids but I do have a life away from the laptop. Balancing full-time job and real-life means my side projects normally lack enough polish for me to consider them deliverable/sellable products. 3. Heralding all my side projects in public feels like busy work to me. If you were really interested these projects then youll search for the project first not the author. Ah well now I just caught myself rambling on HN yet again. To each his own I suppose ;) EDIT: I suck at links
