Side projects die from scope

Short summary

Side projects fail due to scope creep, not lack of skill. Build minimal MVPs with a single feature and commit to daily 45-minute work sessions rather than waiting for motivation. Most successful products started embarrassingly small—ship early, improve later.

• •Scope creep kills side projects; developers add features instead of launching
• •MVP should be minimal and deployable with one core feature (e.g., create/complete/delete for a task app)
• •Consistency matters more than inspiration—45 minutes daily beats sporadic motivation
