I live for my side projects. I spend most of the week forcing myself to complete things at work. It helps greatly if I feel like I have momentum, but the more senior I get the more it feels like companies have a lot of trouble keeping me busy on things that need my attention. I have spent the last five years on stuff that has not shipped. As I have become more and more demotivated by this I have also greatly dialed back my output. I still get the same glowing reviews I got when I was playing the workaholic. I have had it up to my eyeballs working for people that can't organized. I should probably go into management or something but...meh. Not worth it. I want equity. I want to know exactly where the business is going without worrying about seemingly random arbitrary pivots and wasted effort. If we aren't marching to market dominance I want to go on paid time off until they get their shit together. Instead, I'm phoning it in and working on my shit.
