Why working on a side project is your best move as a developer

I have yet to find a personal project which I am legitimately interested in doing. Time and time again I'll simply start the project, do 30-60 minutes and then never look at it again. The whole process isn't something I find enjoyable unless I'm working with someone else.

A difficult problem I come across in work is something I cannot bare to do in my spare time, and it's rather annoying as I used to really enjoy programming when I didn't know how to do it.

I spent a lot of time looking at sites like betalist and producthunt in hopes of finding some interesting projects.

But they all seem so forced and artificial and hype marketing garbage.

Reading online discussions I get the impression that everyone's working on such useful products but I'm not seeing the projects around.
