<p>What are the main reasons personal projects (software apps etc) never get to the level of competing with your salary?</p>

<p>To me one big problem is "on-the-fly" feature expansion, with this problem, the end only gets further and further away!</p>

For me, it's simple: I work 8 hours a day already. I spend a few more hours a day keeping current. I have
a girlfriend,
some local family and a decent circle of friends. I have (gasp) non-computer-related interests and hobbies. In other words, I have a life.
So ...
Time.
Time is not on my side. Would that it was ... My blog might be a bit more current if there were just two more hours in every day. :)
