I'm also a big fan of side projects. Problem is, i'm a product guy, and the whole point of what I do is to try and make things people want. Not learn a new technology. I still haven't been able to find the right balance. Any advice?
- digitalWestie 13y agoDo you mean the balance of time you spend on the projects ? Or a balance of playing with new-tech versus building something useful ?
- fourstar 13y agoPick what you're good at and focus on it. You can't be good at everything.
- abbottry 13y agoI have features I've built, and entire products for that matter, that were nothing more than a Frankenstein of things I've picked out of side projects. Sometimes I learn 2 things completely separate from each other, and then 6 months down the line have a realization that those two things would be amazing together in application. Product focused or not, there is no reason that you should prevent yourself from learning just because it doesn't have a TLD.
