HN discussion#7 has more to it. It's a big deal. Falling off the wagon can be due to various reasons - lack of prioritization, unfamiliar tooling/technology, not knowing the value, striving for perfection, lack of iterations, and lack of context. These can more often lead to abandoning the projects altogether. If you have time to read more about this, check out my blog post here https://iam.mt/working-on-side-projects/

HN discussion- none of your blog links work https://iam.mt/blog-changes/ - also you should put a list of all your article. (titles only) on some page called /archive or something - i really dont want to scroll 5000 pages to see the last 20 articles you wrote - just a suggestion from a ui / ux perspective
