Sometimes. It depends on where I'm at in life.

When I have a side project going or I'm trying to learn new skill, I put all the energy I can into coding.

But I can't keep that pace forever and I think you're right that it's helpful to shift focus to something like music.

Yeah I can get that. The nice part is when a side project is born out of a hobby, gives it a real purpose and you've already got your first user!
