I love this analogy. I enjoy programming as a hobby and as a result, I like taking my time creating a product that I enjoy using.
My garden is currently 2 open-source projects focused on developer efficiency and ease of use.
dev-utils:
A simple publicly facing website (that can be run locally) that can do simple encoding, decoding, hashing, pretty printing, etc. All of these are performed using javascript so data is exfiltrated to third-parties. I found that I was using utilities online and I did not trust them so I decided to make my own. You can find the website here: https://utils.andrewcopeland.dev/
zk:
A simple not taking application that is written 100% in bash. It follows the zettelkasten note taking method which implements small notes that can be linked together. All notes are written in markdown files and can be auto-synced to a public or private github. You can find the project here: https://github.com/AndrewCopeland/zettelkasten
I only water these projects when I need to and I have no intent on commercializing them. I water them because I like them not because I want to monetize them.
