Yes, it's tiring. I sometimes complain I don't have any time to play video games anymore. But that's it: I complain about not playing video games, not about not working on projects. I suck it up and open the code editor.
And I want employees who have the fortitude to do the right thing rather than the easy thing.
Edit: I want to also note, I don't just dump the kids on my wife. She has her own side projects she does. She writes sci-fi novels.
- odshoifsdhfs 6y agoYou are lucky. I don't watch tv/play video games, but also don't do side projects. Even if I wanted I couldn't stand staring at a monitor at 10 in the evening to write code. (but to be fair, I also value other things in my life more than my job/money, so I probably 'waste' my time on other things, but I still don't agree with side project hiring. I did a lot of hiring, and I prefer employees that have a balanced life and way of living) (ps: if your hobby is to write code at night, all power to you, but I don't think you should discriminate against people that prefer to watch a show, go surfing or to the gym or just have a beer with friends. A side project doesn't mean anything in terms of your performance at work to be honest)
- moron4hire 6y ago> A side project doesn't mean anything in terms of your performance at work to be honest That's as ridiculous as only hiring people who work side projects.
