Today, social coding movement more spreading around GitHub, people arguing while develop proccess.
that's absolutely good trend, because software development is huge complexity human work.
but i think a personal project has some effective things to grow as a developer.
following 2 are my thought.
full stack roles experience
All processes are become to your work.
whole product design, software feature, technology-stack, UI/UX design(if you create GUI app.), marketing, software architecture, code implementation etc...
yeah, your are completely full stack developer!
this fact useful to learn other role person's job overview, each process integration flow, approximately total implementation cost.
free experimental implementation
All work isn't depends on colleague opinion or your boss approval, you can feel free design, implementation.
you can failure Unlimited on the environment and test any methodology pros/cons.
what do you think?

How can you guys balance social coding and passion projects? 😵 How people do both and manage their time escapes me!
I agree! Every coder, and I literally mean every single coder, needs to have personal solo projects. They're essential to one's professional growth and learning.
