Something small, common and straightforward, just to get you started. Something that will automate something of your monotonous tasks in your daily routine. It doesn't have to be the next big thing, it doesn't have to make everyone go "WOW". I feel like everyone nowadays hits the wall at the very start deciding what they'd build. Always thinking google levels of complexity, architecture and also not forget "IT MUST SCALE TO THE MASSES". And they.. stop.. right then and there. It's quite wholesome to see a friend of yours or just some random person on GH start building something at this point, as long as they enjoy it without the remorse of it being mainstream. Especially for new people in the field that aim at the key aspect of being unique, but as we all know you need to start out somewhere.. At this point just start..
Got sidetracked.. I'd say not much as a side project but a mentality. Go on your preferred poison (language) of choice's community slack channels, github open repos, forums, stackoverflow questions etc. and just start contributing. Maybe once a week, maybe in the evening for an hour or so while you're drinking your hard earned glass of good whiskey. It's likely you know something that the other Joe doesn't and you're likely to build some strong connections helping others and the marvellous aspect of that is that one also learns how to better express themselves and expands the topic they're talking about.
