Unlike the day-to-day familiarity of the full-time job, these side projects allow me to experience more and learn more new things. Though these days, I have less time to invest in side projects because of my full-time job, I still keep going at it as much as I can manage. You know, something with my personal remark in it. They were built partly for my interest or to make a good impression with potential employers. Two years ago, I wasn’t completely committed or thought of making income from those products. Back in university, I started playing around, crafting my apps, and almost always had some side project going on. Anyone who builds their own products is an indie hacker.
