https://codify.technology - I should have stopped and abandoned this long ago. I have literally no idea where I am going or what I am doing, but for some reason I keep going and it dosent matter. Thats whats so great about side-projects. It dosent matter, all that matters is that I am having fun and learning; getting to explore my creative side outside of whatever my PM at work wants me to do. For my day-job I work at TII. I have no impact on the product at all, nobody cares what I think, but here (my side proj,) I get to express myself and solve problems the way I think they sould be solved. I used to watch the news and get upset at how public policy was implemented; now I get to just do things the way I want them done. I know it sounds silly/dumb to most people because nobody cares or will adopt my solutiuon en masse but its still fun and I think thats at the core of any successful side project; are you having fun? If not, time to move on.
