Side projects..
This describes the shit very accurately.

hope not a repost tho

Trying to do a side project

Idea? Check.
Motivation? Check.
Ability? Check.
Time? 404

Reason why Devs like me can't have a Bae or a side project :

It happens all the time...

Side Project : LEEEEEEEEEROYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Work Project : WHIITEBOOOOOOOOOAAAAAARD

Me when trying to decide on a side project

"How's that side project coming along?"

I'm a project manager now. Hello from the other side, bitches!

This is how my (side-project) deploy scripts look :3

I finally get in the mood to work on my side project and GUESS WHAT? THE API IM USING FOR IT IS FUCKING DOWN 😂🔫

@bdriesen in response to someone's side project post

Ok something went wrong.
I don't know how this could happen.

🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔

I finished a side project.

How could this happen?

🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔

Ahh I know. It is absolutely useless.

Are you even a Dev if you don't have an abandoned or incomplete side project ?😂

Work has been very stressful lately...
But after one week of vacation (and two in front of me) I am ready to get back to my side-projects again...

coffee: checked
music: checked

Lets GO! This feels so good! I am glad to be back ;-)

Me to myself: "Don't start another side project you can't finish. Don't start another side project you can't finish. Don't start another side project you can't finish..."
*6 Hours later*
FUUUUCCC...

Everyone's asleep.

I'm not tired, and coding sounds like the best thing ever right now. Figured out a solution to that blocking architecture issue, too. So: headphones on, blare Amon Amarth and Disturbed, bring up editor. It's time to work on that side project!

Best night in months.

"I can finally complete my side project."

Finally!
Quick info panel with Arduino Uno + RPi
:D

Happy 0x7E2!
Fun fact:
2018 = 2 x 1009 (both prime)
8102 = 2 x 4051 (both prime)

Let we all finiah at least one side project this year!

This page doesnt look like much until I tell you it is written entirely in Clojure using a custom built HTML generator.

Starting a new side project, now I'm trying to decide on a language/platform like...

Python and a cup of Earl Gray Tea and I feel like captain Picard commanding the Enterprise. The dark theme of the IDE helps, too.

Welcome new side project.

The moment you turn down a paid side project, because you rather work on your own side projects...

I think I will ship a free open-source messenger with end-to-end encryption soon.

With zero maintenance cost, it’ll be awesome to watch it grow and become popular or remain unknown and become an everlasting portfolio project.

So I created Heroku account with free NodeJS dyno ($0/mo), set up UptimeRobot for it to not fall asleep ($0/mo), plugged in MongoDB (around 700mb for free) and Redis for api rate limiting (30 mb of ram for free, enough if I’m going to purge the whole database each three seconds, and there’ll be only api hit counters), set up GitHub auto deployment.

So, backend will be in nodejs, cryptico will manage private/public keys stuff, express will be responsible for api, I also decided to plug in Helmet and Sqreen, just to be sure.

Actual data will be stored in mongo, rate limit counters – in redis.

Frontend will probably be implemented in React, hosted for free at GitHub pages. I also can attach a custom domain there, let’s see if I can attach it to Freenom garbage.

So, here we go, starting up modern nosql-nodejs-react application completely for free.

If it blasts off, I’m moving to Clojure + Cassandra for backend.

And the last thing. It’ll be end-to-end encrypted. That means if it blasts off, it will probably attract evil russian government. They’ll want me to give him keys. It’ll be impossible, you know. But they doesn’t accept that answer. So if I accidentally stop posting there, please tell my girl that I love her and I’m probably dead or captured

That feeling when you receive your first GitHub contribution on one of the side project you've been working on for months :D

Do side projects in no more that two weeks, otherwise it’s doomed.

Just plain facts

I decided to go to a beach, sit on a rock and try to advance my side project. And look who decided to come and help me!

*gets back home from work*
Yeah, I'm gonna work on that side project I started a while ago! I feel so excited!
*opens up computer, clicks on Witcher 3*

The worst part about doing side projects for me is the constant "Oh but I could do this!" and then not keeping track of it.

NEED A MINIMUM VIABLE PRODUCT!

My new side project

Revive my old C.H.I.P

So I was procrastinating on my side project, then somehow started a new one but this time with three partners, now I procrastinate on this new project by working on my side project.

GREAT

i hate my life sometimes.
as much as i can write frontend all day long and in my sleep, it never seems to amaze me how quick you can get into a deep nesting of elements in HTML.

- hire a new Dev.
- not burnout this year
- work less, deliver more
- start a open source side project and make it production ready

That moment when you get a great idea for a side project, and you know you don't have the needed skills yet, but you don't care 'cause it just means you're gonna have to learn more... just awesome 😍

SIDE PROJECT SHOWOFF

Srsly what the fuck does everyone else here do in their spare time

I saw a quote maybe 2 weeks after I signed up in this Heaven, I can't (read "I'm too lazy to") find the quote but some guy was lowkey panicking about the fact that all his friends were "currently building X, almost finishing to dev Y", while all he ever did was a small project like "yeeey, I can do something with my 10 fingers"

This rant was interesting, but the top comment kind of marked me, if I remember well, it said something like "All I read is 'doing' and 'almost finished', while you 'did'. I would trust you over these guys".

From this day, while I worked on two side projects, there was always a moment where I thought about this sentence.

Today, I finished one of my side projects. I DID it.

Dang it I feel complete.

Finally some "me time" on a Saturday!

That feeling when you've found a partner who is ready to help you with your side project. 🙌

This side project is the one.

git init

Never come back to it...

Starting my 10th side project like...

MY OPENCV SIDEPROJECT WORKS!!

Now I can chill in bed and control the computer with a laser pointer :)

Sooo cs school is over for today, now working on side projects.

Just logged in to my old Bitbucket account.
It's a huge cemetery of side projects..
Some of them are unknown now..
Some others were glorious..
And some of them were killed by other projects, loosing the war of side projects..

RIP my old projects.. RIP

I'm starting a side project. This time I'm totally gonna finish it. For real. 14th time's the charm, right?

!rant

Finished my college exams. Yay!
No internship...😶
Hello side projects... 😁

Coolest project I've worked on. Artistic.af machine learning + Instagram makes your images artistic AF. Did it as a side project to get up to speed on NN implementations on GPUs

Goals for 2018:
0. Finish some side projects
1. Take python skills to the next level
2. Start a new bigger project.
3. Dive into machine learning

Anybody else know that horrible feeling when you're 2 weeks and 1000 lines of spaghetti into what started as a 2 day 200 line side project that was supposed to make your main project better, but has now become it's own life consuming beast?

Let's work on my my side project after work.
Oh, a cold beer
Oh, Netflix
Oh, it's past dinner time.
Fuck

Tfw you start a side project and depend on a package that's literally four days old.

It's probably fine.

Who cares about living longer, with more money and not bzing ill? If I had a wish I'd get my oN room of hyperbolic time so I'd get to finish what I want and do stuff I know it'd take YEARS to do (i.e. read everything DC and Marvel ever released)

But most importantly, I would be able to finish my side projects.

Created a poll to chose which side project to carry on during holidays, came up with a new one instead.

Story of my life.

Every time I work on a new side project...

*git init*

Well...things are getting pretty serious

When you work on a side project intoxicated and look at the dev comments the next day.

Tried my luck with Upwork to get some side money. Man, the jobs there are horrible. I am amused by job posts that sound like 'copy amazon.com, but make it a little bit different'. And for that amazing job you'll get 20 bucks.

Started a side project with react.js.

Ability to finish a side project before starting a new one

Trying to decide how to spend my weekend, continue to learn node.js and angular.js OR learn vim OR work on side project...to many choices not enough time

Playing around with ideas to paint my sad yellow ducky.

@dfox We need these in the store!

Side project of today:
Build a lap timer for my son + friends for their BMX track!

while( $emails == 0 ) {
getDrink( 'tea' );
doSideProject();
}

FINALLY after 48 hours coding. 1000 lines of algorythms ....

Managed to sync video playback on 30 Machines, didnt go to work "sick".

All this for a side project.
Doesnt possibly work they said....

The layout for my little side project was working fine in IE last week. Made some server side additions over the weekend and now the layout is broken... in IE only. Guess who's putting in a user-agent redirect to a "Works best in Chrome or Firefox" page? 😉

It is coming 😀

You begin on a side project, you get bored before it's finished and start another one. Repeat...

#mylife

Like all coding projects, side projects must be approached at night.

Finally found motivation to get back to my side project game on Corona sdk :) you all know you should get back too (i'm fairly fresh programmer be gentle)

Remember that mechanical calculator I bought a couple of days ago? I cleaned and oiled it and it works. I might have a batshit crazy idea what to do with it.

I recently bought a so called Atomic Pi (a ridiculously cheap RPi clone with an Intel atom processor, check out their kickstarter campaign), and I am thinking about hooking it up to the calculator in order to automate it with motors and stuff. Perhaps I'll even add a Webcam and play around with image recognition in order to read the results. How cool would that be?

When it's 4 AM but you still wanna code. (coz its your fav side project)

Yesterday night I worked 2 hours on a side project.

This is the first time in 4 months this happens.

Feels so much better man

So it's 1:00 AM and I have accidentally commit node_modules to my side project

After three weeks looking for decent pdf parser that will handle all documents I gathered for my project I decided to write my own.
All those I tried end up with more then 10% not correctly parsed pdfs or require to much coding.
I was sceptic so I waited another week debating if it’s good idea to do it and I said yes.

Spent 16 hours straight coding pdf document extraction library and command line tool based on pdf.js

Fuck, now when I open pdf I see opcodes instead of text.

Got two more hours until client planning meeting and then I go to sleep for a while.

Time to start testing this more deeply as I have about 60k ~ 20GB pdf documents to parse and then I need to build some dependency graph out of its text.

At least it’s more funny then making boring REST API for money.

I usually start on stuff but get about 90-95% done and find that last 5-10% requires as much (time|energy) as the rest of the project.

Bloatware removal script in powershell for factory imaged systems currently.

Nearing completion now but always a few more features and testing rounds to go...

Working gui now but getting good UX takes time with winforms.

What is the best project you've done with a Raspberry Pi? Got my model 3 a month ago and was thinking of turning it into Jasper. However I'd like to consider more options before starting it.
Thanks in advance

Coolest bug I ever found was the temperature sensor connected to a raspberry pi giving me -40 as a value.

My side project GlimpseDash! Specifically with the new ScreenSaver feature it is AMAZING ☺

Have an idea for a fun little side project coding a game. Install Unity and read up some samples.
Remember I'm awful at any kind of creative design work.
Get sad and go back to Overwatch.

I'm four months in my new job and I've done 5 days worth of coding. There aren't much projects coming to our office nowadays so I'm being paid just to log my hours.

Any of the ranters here have any small project ideas I can make to pass the time?

I've literally run out of things to make.

It has been a long long time since I posted, a lot has happened the past couple of months.

I lost my grandfather, I got a nice dev job and God I miss ranting here. I finally published my side project and all I have to say is

AWS is a b*tch! But beautiful at the same time, had to learn a lot the old way (trial and error).

I don't have any anime pictures as I've changed phones recently but I find this picture just as awesome.

Hope you are having a great day ranters.

Working on a side project like...

a client i was doing a side project for recently hired another dev to finish my project apparently i wasn't fast enough for them; despite their late submition of asserts.now their "dev" fucked up everything i was building and they want me to take the project over the weekend..

Hiding my secret side project that I spend 69% of my free time thinking about and 11% of my free time working on.

Axioms of writing software for your own business
(or working on your own projects that actually have to get produced in the real world)

Axiom #37: It is always a lot more fun to start something new, then to finish the thing that *was* new and exciting when you last tried to finish a thing.

A site I manage in my spare time with a couple thousand normal users was getting attacked by a Chinese botnet. All the requests were coming from only two subnets. Easy to block. Feels like this was only the vanguard. Prelude to the real attack. I'm thinking about moving the site to its own server, so it won't affect my other sites. There at least if it gets kneeled, it'll only be that site.

1. Work on a side project with friends
2. Make some friends
3. Get better at forward planning

Working with side projects taught me how valuable teamwork is

I got home from my day job today to work on a side client's project that is due tonight.

Realized I'd left my laptop with all my setup for the project at the office.

My side project is distracting me from my corporate, gotta pay the bills somehow and meet these damn deadlines, project! 😫😫

I need to find a way to stay motivated on a project when I hit the wall.

I always get to a point where my limited knowledge stops and I have to plug away and I just get instantly demotivated and I hate it.

I'll never be where I want to be if this keeps happening. Any tips for organising your mind during these times?

So hyped cause my side project had +20% traffic last week !!!!

Turns out it was all coming from 'Secret.ɢoogle.com You are invited! Enter only with this ticket URL. Copy it. Vote for Trump!'

Google Analytics how easily are you fooled ?

I'm sitting here at 1 am working on a side project. There's, literally, a bug in my code. It's bed time.

Going through an old side project, and I found this beauty

Quick question, how do you guys find the energy/motivation to create side projects?

Currently, I'm working around 8 hours a day and afterwards I can't really think about getting on the PC as I know that I will burn out eventually and end up messing up the following work day.

Do you take a shorter work day? Do you work on non IT related side-projects? Maybe someone wants to discuss on how to avoid burn-outs and still have fun while working and doing side-projects? :) All ideas are welcome for this topic!

Am I the only one who doesn't give a fuck about silvester and spends his night on his side project? :D

First day of a six week vacation. Already miss coding. I have to start myself a side project.

Why can't I just enjoy my weekend like a normal person for once? Instead I can't help but work on a side project because I know I won't sleep tonight if I don't!

Urghhhhh I'm sick.

Is that a good enough excuse to not start my side project today as well?

Giving up on a side project

A side project was the one that helped me figure out I don't want an IT job. Happy that I realised before it was too late! 🙃

Working on a Xamarin (.Net) project in the morning, in the evening I work on React Native project. And a little time at night with Java side project, also sometimes I do some support to a native Android App.

God, this is like a brain gym !

After two months of working on the new version I've finally decided to compile everything. I must say I was pretty confident that everything would compile pretty well.
I've never been so wrong in my life xD

While testing the latest version of an app I'm building (side project), I actually laughed out loud and was having fun. Even if it goes nowhere, this was worth it.

New side project just started, node_module weights 135 mo.

By the way, Bootstrap 4 and its thousands of depencies should suck a round of cocks

Side project is swift. Loads of feedback! I'm happy. Fucked up part is the users who wants it uses Android. Oh well, time to learn React Native

TL;DR: I'm stressed out over choosing a side project because of the commitment and fear of failure :(

I'm a student and summer vacation starts in 3 days (and actually has already started for me, thanks to a "smartly planned" hospital stay), so I'm currently looking for a cool project to start. This will be my third summer vacation during which I want to make complete a project, and I never actually did it. The first year, I couldn't think of any reasonable, doable project which would be interesting and fitting for the time scope (I was quite new to programming back then, so I probably couldn't have done things that would be interesting to me, an any project that I could've done would just take 20 minutes, cause I wouldn't understand anything more complex). The second time, I chose a project too big with too much new things I had to learn on the go. I actually pushed through for nearly a week, but then I realized that I only completed like 25% in that time, so I lost my motivation, thinking I could never finish it, while not wanting to start a complete new project, because that would've felt like wasting the time I put into my first project. It was still a valuable project and I learned a lot by doing it, but this year I want to actually finish a project; so I'm really stressed out right now trying to come up with a good project.
Usually I have millions of vague ideas in my head, but as soon as it comes to choosing, every single one seems to be the wrong one, or I forget about all of them. Everything that kinda interests me seems way to big and complicated to me, but I sometimes feel like I'm just underestimating my abilities, but on the other hand I have ~25 projects on my hard drive, of which 4 or 5 are finished and most will never be finished. :/
And it's just so overwhelming to choose something like that, because on one hand I really want to do a bigger project that I actually finish, and summer vacation is the only time I have so much time to code, and I love coding, but on the other hand choosing such a project that I will work 2-3 weeks on is too much commitment and also I'm anxious about failing it and never finish it, just abandon a buggy mess. Am I the only one to feel that way, or are you too having problems choosing side problems?

And, I guess if you have any ideas for a suitable project (literally anything, so that I might be exposed to some new ideas), just comment it.

I want to code my side project.
Work is trivial, repetitive, irrelevant.

I wished I was rich so I could work on shit I'm actually interested worked in.

When your new project hits the tipping point and begins helping people- priceless.

Is it just me, or is it extremely frustrating that we get so little time for our side projects? I can only manage like 3 hours every night, losing up on sleep.. 😢

When you're on your phone and a long forgotten side project sends a notification.

Spooky😨

Please god!! Let me finish this side project 😢😢

When it's 1AM and you decide to try and write a database from scratch....

Just finished a side project, now I know how suck my programming skill is, because most of the time I was copy pasting the code from my previous side projects. Lol!

Knowing that my side project will never go to finish.

No deadlines and bullshit.

I mostly work in Java as a backend developer, but lately I started a frontend side project in Angular. Man, Typescript and SASS are awesome! Totally love it :)

So... umm...
Just remembered my Informatics teacher left me and my friend a side project to do by the end of summer:
The task is to replicate the game "Minesweeper" in a C# form.
Now, I never actually even understood that game when I played it, how the hell can I program that? ;-;
Well okay, yeah, I might have to actually start looking into it... but freak, it's almost the end of summer already, and I'm still on vacation... my fault I guess. ;—;

Thinking of using Xamarin for the development of a mobile app for a side project. Yea or nay? Android and iPhone.

I have a random question. Does it make me a less of a developer if I say no to a embedded side project proposed by a friend?
I mean I'm all into side projects n building something cool but hardware and embedded stuff isn't something I like or feel passionate about.

For me side projects have been things I'll make to do something that others will use. Some people call it innovation, some call it side business. But that's how i look at side projects. So the points below are more to do with entrepreneurial experiences.

1. If there are more people involved, ensure that there is work for everybody (also level of commitment is tested by how much they put in). Also have as varied set of skills as possible. So that areas are well defined in terms of scope of work and areas of expertise.
2. Put in some money. Money is super glue. It will ensure that you're committed to the thing. Things change when decent amount of money is involved. You're invested, as may be others.
3. Learn something as an intention. This has nothing to do with the learnings you'll get on the way. This one seems obvious, but nevertheless needs to be said.
4. Set timelines and deadlines. Ask someone else to check on whether you're keeping on to your deadlines or not.
5. Don't go live without proper testing.
6. Make something you feel strongly about. The path will be exciting and clear.
7. Talk to people to get their feedback on everything. You may not like what's told to you. Listen dispassionately. Absorb everything. Feel miserable. But listen and think about it after sleeping over it.
8. Continuation of above point. Talk to varied set of people in terms of backgrounds. You would be surprised as to how differently people think.
9. Ask for help when stuck. Kill your ego and be vulnerable.
10. Check out what's already available. What value are you adding. And make it!

Is resigning from actual frustrating job considered a side project? 😊

!rant

What is something I can complete in a week (let's say 30-40 hours) as a newbie (I made an android app, played around with engines like unity and unreal here and there, tried some c#, and I always mess around with the linux command line, my RPi, etc etc)? I'll start working in a dual-studying job ('applied CS') in 2 weeks so I'll have enough learning-without-doing to do. I just want to learn something by doing something useful (e.g. a small android app that I can put ads in or sell, or maybe provide something for free that people like. I don't want to write my own engine( that'd take very long anyways) or make a compiler because I feel that'd be kind of useless and even though it'd probably be fun, I would lack initiative.

Tmw your side project makes it to the front page of HackerNews and then to the top 😃

This is really nice positive reinforcement 😅

Can't think of a fun side project... It's weekend and I'm bored.

Starting a new side project, that I believe and my close friends believe will take off, want someone to bounce ideas off of, sadly I'm afraid someone will steal the idea :(

Not really a rant, but working on a side project alone is tiring 😴.

It has been 4 days and all I have made is this page and login

Actually finish a side project would be good or win the lottery.

Can't sleep, thinking about this side project I'm going to start tomorrow.

Which is probably going to last for about 2 days or 3 days, after that it will be a inactive repository, like every other side project.

FML

Brought my tablet to work so I can work on a side project during lunch. I keep catching myself daydream-debugging and side-eyeing the drawer that it’s in.

So close yet so far away...

Gotta love that 'side project' 😆

$ rails new [old side project but this time I will finish it (sikes)]
$ cd [project]

$ rails webpacker:install:react

node_modules weights 97.4 mo 🙄

Side project I wish I could finish... updating my resume and building a portfolio so I can get a new job.

I'm working on a project with ~1TB of data. Are there any good options for hosting that won't break the bank and aren't localhost? 😅

How many of you get late to your office/college/school bcoz of working late night on your side project.

I missed my 1st lecture today as well...

Every side project I have ever started ever.

I get so close to finishing then stop it's so god damn annoying

Finally started my side project. Everyone says I'm gonna drop it far before it's done, but I still have hope! I'm not sure if I'm blind or motivated, but I guess I'll find soon enough!
FYI, I'm a mobile dev (c#) but I'm gonna try to learn something else along the way : it's a web project!!!
I'm in the excitement phase, I'll see you in the depression phase.

I am a webdeveloper in full-time. I would really love to learn other things as well and code on sone side projects. But whenever I come home from work I always feel like I've already coded enough for the day and then I don't have any motivation to do something. Do you have any tips?

Gonna do crazy stuff with my new toy😄😄😄

How do you come up with side projects? I'm currently looking for a side project that will be useful for me, an maybe for others in the long run.

Any suggestions? What do you think the market needs right now?

Keep in mind I'm currently a student so I don't have a lot of money to spend on investments.

It's been a while since i stopped programming.....
It's been so busy with all the school work/assignments/ and the most important part is that school ends at 10pm, arrive home at 11pm, prepare for tomorrow school stuff, sleep at 2am, wake up at 7am next morning, and again ends at 10pm 5 days a week...
It is exhausting, but I am getting used to this routine.
Studying my own programming skills or working on a side project? Not sure when to do it... The only way to continue studying is at breaks at school, or sleep less and study....
But it is impossible....
I have some great projects that are waiting to go out to the world, to list a few:
- cloud gaming
- cloud storage with live streaming
- complete school schedule management
- home automation framework in dotnet
- deepfakes and ai image generation algorithm (~18 months of training till now)
- game cheat engine (20GB total omfg ^^)
- and more
and I don't have time to finish it. lol
I think it will see the bright world after 3 years of high school... By then, my projects will be ancient, probably....

TIme is really short.
24 hours equally, but feels like 8 hours a day....

Should I abandon the project rn and focus on studying? (probably should)
or should i sell the project or open source it?

Also, how do you manage your time between work(study) and side projects (especially big ones)?

Worked on an old private side project and fixed several issues on GitHub there. Nice feeling :-)

I always promise myself that I won't take any freelance projects during that specific semester because I need to study for college and already have projects to do.

I always fail and get stressed out later with the amount of things that somehow I got involved with and delivery dates are always close.

I feel such a sadomasochist when I accept this freelance projects and hate myself for doing it.

The promise for fast/simple projects (that always becomes complex later) and the quick $$ get me.

Don't feel like working on side project since yesterday. I was so excited throughout the week but lost motivation on Friday. I just feel like sleeping.

"As a Product Manager in this project I need to work with a Front-End Developer so that the front-end side of the project gets developed perfectly"
PM I ♥ you.

Side project on node.js to built a chat system
Wish I could start

Telling my friend about a side project I was doing in Zf3, he says "why not do it In dot net core for a change"...

Fuck sake now I want to build it in dot net.
Goddammit.

I'm definitely gonna plan and design my next side project before coding it...

...nah I don't need plans!

finally no more lecture, no more class, holiday is here. time for side project :D

no, most of the time i hate vacation.

2 Months ago, I started a new side project. A project to make something of all the 'left in between' side-projects. Well, I've successfully added it to the same 'left in between' list !!

I feel I need to write some side project summary somewhere.

So here it is about 3 months later:

- deleted 90% of code I created during last 3 months
- rewrote backed 5 times
- 200 lines POC still waiting to put in any meaningful architecture on frontend
- frontend part after aurelia, next, gatsby, react I think it would be vue powered by nuxtjs
- forced myself to buy food for whole week and don’t go out (except go running ) before I finish at least what I wrote on whiteboard

Now some positive news:

- there is not much left to be fucked up, removed or unnecessary added
- I think I got a plan
- this is probably first side project that makes me happy for such long time
- there is some probability it would help people and this is what I want to do in my life

Most important is that I know it would take at least half a year to do basic version of it and I don’t care.

Wish me luck so I can put some sneak peak after next 3 months.

Which project should I finish first?:
1. The history teacher will give me excelent mark for filming and editing a history project (i have half the footage)
2. The side project that i love
3. Posting a math project in a website

Starting a new side project and I am determined to do it right.

Just finished writing the features list and now I'm writing the documentation. Not written a single line of code not, nor even created a repository.

When working as a full-time developer
TGIF!, Its already 6 hours? YES!

Working freelance or on your side-project
TFIG?! What TGIF. This feature took 6 hours? FML.

My mom urge me to get a girl friend asap as I'm working away from home and far in other town. My replied to her is 'let me finish my side projects (which will never happens) then only I'll think bout girl friend haha'

I just put my side project working with friends to Gitlab.com. Start to wondering why I was choosing between github and bitbucket while gitlab provides free private repo, free CI runners, and all other useful collaboration tools.

Need advice.

So, like probably for 3 years already, I had this open source project idea for cli tool that would increase development productivity. Since then I partially implemented it 2 times already.

First time was in elixir, but I abandoned it, because it haven’t fit my requirements.

Second time, i tried golang, I felt in love with language, but I missed some stable dependencies that I didn’t want to implement myself, so I abandoned it before I started.

Third time, I chose python, it had everything I needed, and I am already halfway finished the implementation. But I lost all motivation, so I haven’t done anything for the last 2 months, and reason for that is that I don’t really enjoy writing python code and also I wasn’t sure how to structure everything.

Now I am originally php developer, and I kind of convinced myself that php is not a good language to implement cli tool and yet I feel that I would like to start over again in php. I know the language inside out, I know how to structure everything and so I can be way more productive in it.

Also, one more reason I didn’t pick up php was distribution, when I am finished, I would like everyone to use this tool, even outside php and I believe it’s not easy with php. Consumers would need to install php, perhaps composer too and knowing php reputation that could be drawback.

Anyway, I feel depressed about this project and I am not sure how I should approach this issue which exists only in my mind, I would like to hear what you have to say.

I want to start a new website that I can use as a hub for all my side projects.

Will double as a portfolio site but mostly it will just let me share my ideas with friends.

Spent my sunday coding AMZ Hot Searches, a visualizer for trending Amazon search queries, inspired by Google Hot Searches. Will host it on a server soon. Feels good :)

I have a side project that I really want to finish but I'm already having ideas for two other side projects! Help me!

I'm studying Python at the moment and I'm looking for some easy projects to do in order to gain hands on experience. After having written the code of a dice simulator for Risk!, I'm now thinking of a Twitter bot as my next project. Has anybody done it? Would you reccomend doing it?

Since joining devRant I've felt much more motivated to progress in learning Python and if it felt really rewarding to play Risk! without rolling the dice, it also thanks to you all. Sorry for ths cheesy nuance and for this not being a rant.

Feeling good , finally got the time to start on my side-project that has mentally occupied my mind for a while. Let the code out 😊

looking for a nice side project very badly..😖😖it sucks when you have nothing interesting to work on.

That feeling when you haven't even started your side project, and you already have development plans for the next 6 months 😅

Got a NodeJS social media server I'm building for a side project, inches away, but my wedding looming - goodbye free time! Haha

Creating side projects for the side projects which are supposed to make the coding of side projects who are supposed to speed up coding on main project. Ends up in sideprojectception...

Tomorrow is my internal exams in college and all I can think about working on my side project, kind of amusing

The moment when you work your ass off on a project and you don't get alot of praise

vs

The praise you get for that 5 minute side project / fuck around you done....

Wtf!?

To finish my apllication for a new job

Jk

To prevent world domination from killer robots programmed by fb.

Oh and start a side project

So the little project I was working on goes to the side. I'm taking on a new one: a little pong game, a hello world into NES programming

I have a live show with my band this night. Even though I love playing, today I'd really love to stay at home and start another side project that I'll soon regret

Just finished my first microservice project. I'm so happy that I was able to do that hardest thing I ever did. It's just a side project but I think it will do well on my cv as I will be finishing university next year.
Just wanted to share this with you guys as all the rants really helped me to calm down when I was wrecking my head over some weird bugs.
