Importance of Solving Problems in Side Projects
When embarking on a side project, engineers should focus on solving real problems that they have experienced or thought about extensively. This approach ensures that the project addresses a genuine pain point and has the potential to resonate with a wider user base. For example, the success of Slim, which aimed to minimize container sizes, demonstrated the power of addressing a pain point that was experienced by the founder. Engineers should avoid simply chasing funding and instead prioritize solving problems for users.
