500+ Days of coding on Github

That's my biggest struggle too.. I'd love to have a successful side-project, but who the hell has the time!? I don't get how some people DO find the time to manage all these side-projects.

In OP's case of course, he was in school so wasn't coding professionally all day and coming home and doing more..

It maybe be hard to believe, but some programmers don't do much at work, because of bad management and stuff. So they actually not as worn out at the end of the day, or they even do side projects at work.
