Episode notes
Boring Day Jobs Can Fuel Creative Side Projects
- Working on a project you dislike can still be valuable because it lets you treat work like a job and avoid overcommitting to features.
- Kirk argues boredom at day jobs fuels creative side projects, freeing energy to pursue personally meaningful work nights and weekends.

- If your current role is creatively draining but offers healthy culture, cherish the people and skills because they transfer to future projects.
- Jason and Maddy advise viewing skills gained as investments toward contributing to projects you prefer later.
