There is nothing wrong with building a passion project just for yourself. More so, I strongly believe that great software often starts as personalware and is NOT built in public. I’ve distilled the interviews I’ve had so far, mixed it with my own experience and wrote a “tutorial” on How to come up with a passion project.

And GreatLittleBot digged out a few projects that demonstrate that “dance like nobody is watching” phylosophy works beautifully:

orhun/linuxwave: Generate music from the entropy of Linux 🐧🎵 ★651

gabe565/ascii-movie: Star Wars SSH + Telnet server written in Go. ★599

emicklei/melrose: interactive programming of melodies, producing MIDI ★209

Revive your passion for an old project, take a new one for a spin or build something just for the fun of it; and when you’re ready to brag about it - let me know!

Or don’t! Just keep building!
