+
+Or at least, that's how I experience it. Let me explain.
+
+I have a lot of sideprojects. Most would say too many (I'm inclined to agree).
+I often start these projects because I feel like it, without a particular
+purpose or useful goal in mind. Programming is just something that I really
+enjoy, so I tend to create ideas out of thin air just because I want to write
+something, anything. There is however another group of sideprojects, the ones
+that I start because I need something. Those that fix an annoyance, or make my
+life easier. What I've noticed is that I'm a lot more productive & less easily
+burned out when I'm working on these kinds of projects.
+
+One of those projects (and my main project atm) is
+[Vieter](https://git.rustybever.be/Chewing_Bever/vieter). I originally wrote a
+full description of Vieter here & why I needed it, but that's really not what
+this post is about. You can still read about it in [the docs](/docs/vieter#why)
+if you want. The important part to take away from this is that it's something I
+really need. It made me more productive and greatly pushed down my update
+times, which I personally find very important. That's why I'm getting a lot of
+things done for this project, because I know that it'll be worth it in the end
+& improve my life.
+
+To show the other site of the spectrum, my original idea for this site was a
+collection of microservices, with a complex authentication system & a full
+JavaScript frontend ([source](https://git.rustybever.be/rusty-bever)). Let's
+just admit it here, this idea was way too ambitious and not even *that* useful.
+The only part that I'm actually still considering writing is the authentication
+part, because I do have some other ideas to go along with those, but that's
+another post entirely ;p
+
+Due to this overkill idea, I didn't actually set up this site for over a year I
+think, just because I just couldn't get myself to properly work on the
+implementation. I actually really enjoy writing these blog-style posts, so it's
+quite sad I didn't set up a proper Hugo-based site immediately. Gladly at some
+point I got through my stubbornness, and I set up this site in less than a day
+:) This site still runs on [a custom backend](/switch-to-axum), but it's much
+more minimal and only supports what I really need. My mind's a lot calmer now
+that I've properly left my original idea behind.
+
+I'm honestly not quite sure what point I'm trying to make. This post is just an
+observation about how my unpredictable mind can work. Knowing myself, the
+sideprojects will probably never stop coming, but that's okay tbh. The
+important part is that most of them have a purpose, and don't just burn me out
+unnecessarily.
+
+Fin.

 In classic Jef fashion, it took me less than a week to completely overhaul the
 way my site works ;p Visually nothing's changed, but internally the website is

 The reason for this is expandibility. While nginx is really good at what it
