My current conclusion is that I should do side hustle. Because at work, opportunities don't simply come to me because I'm good. Opportunities don't come to me, because my manager lose an internal turf war to another manager, i.e. there are a lot of factors out of my control, even my technical skills are strong.

Secondly, if I put all my energies into the work, I will be tied too much to the technologies used by the work, and I will miss the opportunity to grow myself.
