I used to have a lot of consternation for not having a side project. Then I realized that most of the side projects I saw people pushing seemed like solutions in search of problems to me. Overall - it’s a mindset thing for me. I think we have overly complex software systems in place to solve problems that would be better served by people learning to communicate effectively with each other. Along that same line, I think we sell people on the idea they need these newer/faster/better software systems to be efficient or effective when in reality, not much has changed since the 80s in word processing. That’s a long way to say that my hobby is not shitting up the world with more code. Instead I’ll just spend time with my animals and people.
