  • I think for me it’s the scale of my work projects and lack of deep interest in the projects themselves. Hobby projects get started because I have some kind of interest that I want to expand on by writing some code. For instance, RF and aviation are two interests and I recently wrote an ADSB message decoder with a map kind of like flightradar24 does. That’s super interesting to me, so writing that code is fun. It’s also way smaller of a project than my work projects.



















  • I think the easiest would be to downgrade to the 350mbps plan and see if you can even tell there is a difference. If you do a lot of downloading of large files (Linux isos and steam games) those will go slower. Anecdotally, I’m a software developer who works from home and I have never felt an upgrade from my 300mpbs plan to be necessary, but I don’t download a ton of large files very often and this decision obviously takes into account my personal income and expenses.
