Side projects..
This describes the shit very accurately.

hope not a repost tho

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

Interviewer: "Show me a cool side-project you have been working on!"

Me: "No! I do not have a cool side-project to show you! I work to pay the bills, and do other things in my spare time! Like go fishing, or play video games. Why the fuck are you assuming that I spend my weekends coding for fun!? Do you call random people asking them questions every Saturday and Sunday just for the LOLs of it?"

It happens all the time...

Me when trying to decide on a side project

Every side project ever

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

"How's that side project coming along?"

All devs should relate 😅

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

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

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...

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 ;-)

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.

"I can finally complete my side project."

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.

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!

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

After a long thought I have decided to quit my job and work on my side project😎
Who else is tired of these shitty managers who don't understand anything!!

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

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

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 😍

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

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.

Sitting down for an entire weekend with a couple of friends, just to work on a side project.
No deadline, just fun. And beer, lots of beer 😅

SIDE PROJECT SHOWOFF

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

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...

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

!rant

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

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

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

MY OPENCV SIDEPROJECT WORKS!!

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

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?

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

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

Story of my life.

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

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

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

*git init*

Well...things are getting pretty serious

Fuck me in the eye...

2 years into full time development and I still can't get myself to work on a side project.

Am I alone ????

Starting my 10th side project like...

Ability to finish a side project before starting a new one

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

#mylife

Started a side project with react.js.

Playing around with ideas to paint my sad yellow ducky.

@dfox We need these in the store!

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

Wombat is days away before launching his side project. It is a platform to sell website components for devs and designers.

I am very nervous about it. 😬😬😬

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 😀

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)

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

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....

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

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

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.

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

Working with side projects taught me how valuable teamwork is

I started a side project: a small app for my gf and me.

In the end it should consist of different features I call modules. Right now there is only one module that suggests a movie to watch from our watchlist.

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..

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

Working on a side project like...

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

starting another side project 😭😭😭😭😭

Dear Dark Side #2

Open company projects on all screens
Open your hobby project bottom left screen
Code without guilt
Update company backlog

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!

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

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

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

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!

I won't talk shit about frameworks and libraries anymore, tried to make mine myself and it's damn hard, needs to pour a lot of time in the making, a lot of research, etc.

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.

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

Giving up on a side project

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.. 😢

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

This is really nice positive reinforcement 😅

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 !

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. ;—;

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.

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

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

Spooky😨

Knowing that my side project will never go to finish.

No deadlines and bullshit.

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

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

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

"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.

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

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!

Gotta love that 'side project' 😆

You don’t need a side project

Your job is a JOB.

!rant

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.

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'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.

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.

I actually feel accomplished because I'm starting to turn one of my side projects into a real project, even if it isn't popular.

I have a discord bot (exclusive to one server, so more of a discord server) that I have been working on for a while with a couple minigames, like connect 4, crossword, blackjack, etc.

It started off very small, but now I see the project really exploding in size. I have a bona fide testing environment, website with domain and HTTPS with sitemap and everything submitted to google, unit tests, and the scope keeps expanding.

I am continuing to only add value, but have legitimate plans to try and make some income from it if things go smoothly.

Now I just need more than 10 users.

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

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...

Server behaved weird and I couldn't find out why. Nothing on the logs.

As a personal side project, I've translated the whole project to Scala. Boom! FileNotFoundException. There was an incorrect path somewhere.

I still don't know why Java did not throw.

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.

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...

$ rails new [old side project but this time I will finish it (sikes)]
$ cd [project]
[ Inserting "gem 'webpacker' ~> '3.0.0'" in Gemfile ]
$ bundle install
$ rails webpacker:install
$ rails webpacker:install:react

node_modules weights 97.4 mo 🙄

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

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

...nah I don't need plans!

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.

Gonna do crazy stuff with my new toy😄😄😄

Unity3D+Google Cardboard+Leap Motion = Dreams come true😆😆

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.

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

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!?

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

After a deep day my wife and I came up with our project for steady income to allow me quit work for the first 2 years after the baby is born.

On the kernel/os project I'm working on with @SoldierOfCode.
It's a side project but I *need* to refactor the normal text based functions to vga graphics compatibility.

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.

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 😊

Sucks when you are more excited about a project than anyone else!

F$#k it. Instead of doing it for the company I'll do it for myself as a side project!

Anyone interested in building an Alexa skill?

!Rant

Starting a new side project over the holidays been planning it for weeks. That blank project excitement feeling is one of the best. Love summoning code from the depths of the code underworld to do my bidding.

Happy holidays all.

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...

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

How do you guys prevent burnout when working on a side-project? I'm probably not the only one here, with multiple unfinished projects.

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 !!

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

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

Who are these people?
Who have side projects?
Where do they find the time?
Where do they get the motivation from?
Where do they get ideas from?

My manager recently created an android game as a side project... He also suggested me to have side projects if I wanna grow fast :/

I, wake up, pick up some motivation to finish office work (which I actually like) and it's already evening!

Is something wrong with me?

I need a side project but i'm stuck on "what". I've ever had a side project, it helps training my mind and skills furthermore this "habit" helps me to not waste my time in unuseful things and keep me away from bad thoughts.

The moment when ur almost going to finish a project, but u stumble upon this module/library/framework. And u start a side project. And slowly ur side project becomes main project and ur old project stays incomplete.

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)?

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

What's your opinion on TypeScript? I'm having a hard time figuring out if it's worth using for a React side project

I have a few side project ideas. I started one of them a few months ago (project setup, dependencies, git repo, index page, very basic API and client functionality). But I cannot get myself to work on it or even think about it (for months now). The reason? I do not want to work on the client/frontend! I do not want to deal with React or Vue or Svelte or fuckjs or even jquery. It's a fucking mess.

For the backend, the requests are stateless: you get a request, handle it, and respond back. Need to update state? Database. That's it!
For the frontend, there's just tooo many states I can't keep up with! When the user checks or unchecks this checkbox, I need to maintain the state of the checkbox and maintain the all effects of changing the checkbox while syncing with the backend and making sure the elements are still styled correctly with the applied effects. Multiply that with all the expected interactive elements on the page. It's exhausting!

I'm having the dawning realization, reading the utf specification and thinking "parsing the data files isn't too hard..." that the little side project on a side project on a side project isn't going to be finished until like, Christmas.

Fuck.

Have a side project going to rebuild some of my old projects in rust, I’ve really been enjoying that experience.

Can someone please force my project manager to use fucking Maven for dependencies instead of including local jar files for some side projects?
And possibly a better IDE than Netbeans...

The side project that takes up more time than the last side project I started. Wait what was the main project again?

I really should work on that project to finish it on time... lets work some hours on this side project!

Now I associate programming with work and pain. My mind refuses to start a new side project. Is like a programmer-disease.
Oh yeah, is Christmas by the way...

Do you guys know any tool for documentation in a private side project with two guys?

Tonight is coding night! Who else will be doing the same? :)

Working on a FOSS (side) project is...an additional job apparently :D

Can anyone give me links to any Devrant API? Thinking of starting work on creating a Native Android Devrant app as a side-project.

After years of procrastination and pushing myself. I’ve finally managed to breath life into my app.

It was a journey of 3 years coding it in android launching it to my community. Then almost competing writing the iOS app. Play store taking down the android app for 64bit BS and me not finding time to support both platforms amidst my hectic day job.

Finally scrapped both the codebase and re-wrote everything in flutter.

Phewwwwwww.

Anyways, Feels good man.

Wish me luck 😅

Version 2.0.2 seems like version One now :D

When you had planned a special night entirely dedicated to a new side project and it's only 00:30 and you feel too tired to even start typing.

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.

How so you guys motivate yourself when starting a side project/learning new language/technology? I am having some problems sitting down and working on my own stuff :(

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

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

no, most of the time i hate vacation.
