What makes side projects worth it is the time you put in is fixed and the reward is variable and disproportionate to that time. This is not really specific to programming, it also applies to books, music, television, games, streaming etc. There's also no real cap on how much side projects can succeed. Contracting you can make a lot of money too but it's capped and directly proportionate to your continued time investment.
