HN discussionI've been running my personal projects website ( http://www.michalpaszkiewicz.co.uk ) for just over 2 years and I get a job offer almost every week (not just the typical spamming recruiters, but startup owners who said they liked my work).

HN discussionFrankly, concepts like Ubiquitous language ARE definitely a silver bullet - I've written an article on how they increase your bus factor ( http://www.michalpaszkiewicz.co.uk/blog/busfactor/ )

HN discussionThe way I find side project ideas easily (and get swamped by them) is by: 1. Getting involved in multiple activities - I am part of a choir, I play board games with my friends, I read a lot of books, I take photos of the night sky and I like to do my own statistical research on various topics (e.g. politics). 2. Figure out the problems you face in all of these activities - I have found plenty, such as choir members…
