I do sometimes worry about that, like when applying to jobs I am competing against other people who are out there doing side projects and contributing to open source. Hopefully employers don't place too much weight on those factors for my sake! I like to refer to my kids as my side projects! As they get older I would like to do things together which to me seems like the best option.
