15 projects in 4 years. I'm guessing about 8,000 hours of effort, or an average of about 500 hours per project, equal to about 2 man-months per project. I'm surprised you've made, not lost, money. The actual overall dollars-per-hour salary you managed to bring in would make the story more compelling.

Not doing this for the money.. my corporate gig paid well but it was soul sucking.. as I mentioned.. doing this for exploring my curiosity and see where it takes me.. not to become the richest man in the world.. im happy im able to make enough to live a sustainable lifestyle and provide for my family.

And its not 8000 hours, I work 3-4 hours a day on most days..so around 1000 hours a year.. but even that doesn't feel like work..it feels like play..
