5 Lessons I Learned from Building Side Projects

After shipping 12 side projects in 2 years, here's what I wish I knew from day one:
1. Ship ugly, ship fast

Perfect is the enemy of shipped. Your first version should embarrass you slightly. If it doesn't, you waited too long.
2. Pick boring technology

The new hotness is fun to learn but painful to debug at 2am. Use what you know. Save the experiments for toy projects.
3. Solve your own problem

The best side projects scratch your own itch. You're the first user, the best tester, and the most motivated developer.
4. Distribution > Product

A mediocre product with great distribution beats a great product nobody knows about. Build the audience before the product.
5. Set a deadline

Parkinson's law is real. Give yourself 2 weeks, not 2 months. Constraints breed creativity.
