Why You Need a Side Project

when I start side projects, I think about what's the point of that? What's the purpose of building that side project? And like I said, I mean, I treat a lot of my side projects as just hobbies. So there's no expectation about building a massive company, a massive startup just around that side project. And it's often like I'm learning a new technique, I'm learning a new piece of software, I'm learning a new language. So yeah, so I mean, a lot of the projects that you see on my list, a lot of them are there because I wanted to learn Vue.js, for example, or Next.js, or even Ruby on Rails back in the day and things like that. Like, I wanted to learn like a new framework, a new language. And so there's no expectation of like making millions of dollars or anything like that.
