Building things the right way is a chance for people to learn tools and have fun. They're more impressive if your goal with a side project is for companies to look at your GitHub page. Documentation is crucial. I have some fairly basic <300LOC projects including a bot and a web scraper that I currently cannot run because I didn't document them. The Raspberry Pi they were running on died and I need to do....something....to fix my headless virtual framebuffer and debug some cryptic errors that do not find productive search results. If I had containerized or, at a minimum, documented my setup steps, I would not have this problem.
