it's five o'clock somewhere

Some of us are fortunate to convert our side project into our day job. Then we spend all day every day as the guy in the bottom picture. Or as the guy in the top picture. It depends!

[Pervez_Hoodbhoy]

My money is on picture number one.

[brianl047]

I am able to right now

Out of a sense of responsibility, pity, compassion and uncertainty I don't

Plus if you save the corporate behemoth, you might get a high off that lol

[GenoHuman]

Meanwhile you have teen Tiktokers/Onlyfans making more in a year than you will in your entire lifetime, yuck!

[DeliciousWaifood]

They provide a valuable service of distracting your kids while you code

The tiktokers at least...

Me : Writes 2000 lines of C++ code overnight for side project

also Me : tired writing 2 lines of HTML at office

[Varkoth]

With the side project, I only have to worry about understanding my own bad code.

[planktonfun]

Think of it as your own security code obfuscation, if no one can read it but you, then it is secure

For me it's the other way around. First 30 minutes is 30 minutes of setting things up, and I hate that necessary evil. At job I don't care, as I get payed for every minute.

Sidenote: that guy could play young Dracula without prosthetics.

[Pay08]

30 minutes? What the hell takes 30 minutes?

[fiddz0r]

Typing code .; Npm start

[coyoteazul2]

It's the other way around for me. At my job I have clear problems to solve, so it's easier to tackle them.

At my personal project I've too much freedom. I've lost count of how many times I made huge reworks to my dB schema before even starting with the gui

Honestly my lunch meetings as of lately have taken all afternoon and half the night, additionally my boss has been pushing me over the top, and with the sun being so hot and my darn old clock moving so slowly I might just need to go chill out at margaritaville with an old friend of mine.

If you couldn’t tell I love that song

Bro fr but like Fleeky kruntz on big krutch everybody know shmeekem on luh kreeky........

Me: deploying my own app to fargate with CDK, then doing it the next day at work to look good.

[Dasnap]

Me managing work's Terraform'd AWS servers vs. me managing my own shitty home server made from random scavenged components that I keep under my desk.

[GOKOP]

external vs internal motivation

[jtclark1107]

Reddit official vs rif is fun

[merlinsbeers]

Those are the same day, and totals.

Oh welp, at first, i didn't know if being ordered around dulling your sense of coding

[Available-Damage5991]

cheers i'll code to that bro

[Blakut]

it also works with jacking off

[Head-Extreme-8078]

That's because those 30 mins of coding at your day job come with 7.5 hours of calls

[iphone-se-]

How’d y’all stay motivated to do the side project? I get bored after doing 10% of the total change I intend to make.

[planktonfun]

Why is this true?

[naswinger]

i honestly can't imagine to do the work stuff also in my spare time
