Extra Projects
In Russell Beattie's observations after visiting the US from Spain where he's been working, what struck me as the most significant difference was 'extra pojects'.
Extra projects are those things that so many of us work on outside of our job. I've always thought of these activities as the one's that truly define a person. When my passions/interests and my job are not aligned, I think of what I love to do as my primary project(s) and my job as an extra project.
This prompted me to re-read The Hacker Ethic.
Extra projects are the hacker ethic in action.
