Why side projects are important for every developer

Link –

I have met hundreds of developers. The best ones always have a side project or two that they hack away on at night. As an employer I encourage that, but I have heard that a lot of workplaces ban personal projects.

So let's talk about why I think that side projects is a good thing, how I use them to get better and what you have to look out for.
