For sure, I totally agree.

In addition to that, I'd like to state:

  • don't do a side-project for multiple purposes: either do it to learn or do it to build something useful. Doing both will slow down both goals.
  • don't make it "too perfect"; as a developer I often worked too long on stuff and got demotivated. Shipping something and making the circle go round is awesome and fuels my intentions always. Check out this Dev.to article called "Stop Perfecting, Start Shipping" that I wrote for my Shipharder.com sideproject.
