It’s tempting to chase big, impressive side projects — but small, focused builds are where real skill sharpens. Whether it’s a to-do app, a weather widget, or a CSS-only component, small projects let you:
- Master fundamentals
- Experiment with new libraries
- Avoid burnout
- Actually finish what you start
Even senior devs benefit from going back to basics now and then. Don’t underestimate the power of small.
