> If software development is your 9-5, and not your passion. How do you keep improving?

You don't really. If you are not able to find 3h a week to make at least one tutorial a week, then do it once a month, but if you are not open to learn outside the job, no matter if it is software development or anything else, I don't see how you can improve.

And yes, the best advice is to build things, you don't have to build complicated things. Build things you enjoy. It will help you find time for it. Check https://github.com/codecrafters-io/build-your-own-x - or search on youtube for any tutorial of things you like.

Do things you enjoy, and try to finish what you start - but don't overthink if you don't. Just keep building. If it's hard to finish, try to build something smaller, or easier.

Thank you for the reply, and thank you for the link!

I'll take some time to look through that GitHub and pick out some projects to focus on.
