If you're not motivated about your side projects, you're doing the wrong side projects ... ;)

This thing started out as a "side project". Today it's a fully fledged company, with funding, and with a (small but super motivated) team - But before it became a company, I was the largest contributor to GitHub by an order of +60% up from the second largest contributor to GitHub in the island of Cyprus (7,500+ commits, and yes they're real commits)

If you have to ask that question, you need to find other side projects to work on ... :/

I agree 100% with you. I learned almost all of my web development just by doing side projects. I never took a udemy course or any bootcamps. Losing motivation is just a human tendency. Even though I lose motivation, I enjoy the time and learnings, and the excitement of learning something new.

Great to hear about aista tool and your contributions. Just like aista, I'm too waiting for some "side project" to become something I can call it mine. Thanks for introducing aista tool. :)
