#33Consultant on database engine design, I take CS papers and provide practical open-source implementation. I provide support for my own open-source project. I also customize software like Zookeeper, Hazelcast or Spark.
My primary 'side' project is in my profile. A have several other 'side' projects. But all programming I do is done for money.
Before I started consulting my current work was just a hobby. I also had other projects in astronomy and strategy games, but I canceled that. I spend way too much time on computer.

#34Day Job: Full-stack developer.
Side-projects:
- BedquiltDB (http://bedquiltdb.github.io), a json doc-store layer over PostgreSQL.
- NightChamber (http://nightchamber.com), a slow-web social site.
- various Clojure libraries.
- Screwing around with Elixir.
- I've been toying with the idea of building "the next github", no concrete progress yet. Not sure I'll ever make progress on that one.

#37I'm a lead client developer working with Unity3d engine. Right now I'm developing game/app that improves people's vision. http://www.cp3app.com/ (Yeah, I know the reputation that "brain training" apps have. But I also know that half of our office are scientists and chief chief has publications in peer-reviewed journals about this approximately each month.)
I'm participating in a month-long game jam right now, and lazily doing my own little stupid game, which is really just an excuse to finally learn to do some basic graphics myself. Also, music.

#38> what are the side projects you are doing currently. This question is about having insight about what people are doing. I find it interesting that you ask primarily about side projects rather than just projects. Why are side projects more OK to discuss (or more interesting) than projects? I think it is sometimes a bad habit to follow the impulse to pursue an idea as only a side project. Whether you're a line employe…
so...how would you answer those different questions?
