I think this is the right thing for personal projects. I think throwaway toy projects should be free to go that route too.
- sdoering 3y agoI agree. I once built a small weather application that changes the background image based on the weather being reported. I wanted to understand single page applications a bit better and just decided to do it in Vue. Had never done anything bigger than a bit of web tracking in JS before. So it was quite a fun experience. I still sometimes enjoy using it (it is still running and available, so I like to visit it like sn old friend).
- sublimefire 3y agoI like to think about it like R&D in a company. You do not spend all of the budget on it but just some part, like 15%. Similarly you try out new things and spend some time on it, like 15%.
