I was going to comment about musicians recording elevator music, etc, but those are jobs, not personal projects. so not really under the labor of love heading.

Well, you don't get discovered by making elevator music. Instead, someone pays you to make bad music for a captive audience. Different pathway to "success."

Software is slightly different because most software is more a tool than is art.

However, this applies for software that IS art, for instance, video games. You should follow your creative muse when making a video game. Less important when you're making enterprise software.
