It's okay. Your robot will finish them for you so you can focus on your soul destroying CRUD app at work :)

It's not that my day job isn't interesting. It's just that it takes too much time.

I love helping other engineers build cool stuff and teaching them how to better wield Python.

I worry that day jobs are useful far beyond money for side projects. You do what you don't want all day, but then you are able to feel happy enough to do great work when you go back home to do what you really want.

I actually enjoy my day job. It's just that it's a large part of my day and I feel that I my other interests (restoring old computers, exploring them and how people worked with them, mostly) end up being neglected.
