I’m working and doing a side project and there are some more advantages:

I work as a web dev. I can legitimately learn on the job. That learning then benefits the side project. Example: typescript, shell, k8s, css etc.

I have less time on the side project so there is less fluffing. No docs, no unit tests, no Haskell, just getting it done with what I am proficient at. This might ironically mean I get more done than if I was full time as I’d be tempted to gold plate.

I’m exhausted when I get home and the code I write then just (about) gets the job done. It’d fail interviews big time though.
