I can no longer edit my original comment, so here is an update (new case and rearranging order) following suggestions by the other comments:
A - Hobby project to play with some tech just because you find it interesting
B - Hobby project to create something you want to exist (e.g. a tool for personal use or for close friends, an art project with interesting results)
C - Hobby project to play with some tech that might help your career in the future by learning it
D - Portfolio-making projects to show at job-interviews as a junior developer
E - Homework project to learn about the tech you currently use at work
F - For-profit project to hopefully earn some extra money on the side and keep it that way
G - For-profit project to hopefully earn enough money that will allow you to quit your day job and make it your main job
- karmakaze 5y agoMy current fave type isn't listed: Hobby project to create (and use) some opensource tech that I want to exist and might help your career in the future. Also I don't distinguish between A and C. Some seem more relevant than others but there's not much that I learn that I don't draw from in one way or another.
