There's nothing wrong with having fun. The past couple years I've been dabbling in ceramics. It's lot of fun, and I have a lot of stuff now, but its a hobby not a business.

Frankly, making it a business would rob the fun from it. I like the randomness of it - making something and not knowing how it'll turn out.

In the same way coding can be fun. Work at your own pace on whatever you fancy. Finish it, or don't, no-one cares. When upu get bored with it, then stop.

This is a hobby, and hobbies are good. But hobbies are not a business. I have a day job to earn an income to give me time (and money) to indulge my hobby.

It's possible to turn your hobby into a business, but then it turns into work, not fun (it can be satisfying, and pleasurable but it comes with strict demands.)

So cool, dive into any projects you like, just don't be thinking that those projects will become businesses. (Its possible, but the risk is really low.) If you want to create a business then you need to focus on the business principles first.
