From 9‑to‑5 Engineer to Indie Maker “Balancing a 9‑to‑5 and shipping 25+ apps?

Today I split my time between my day job and indie builds like Xlsheet AI and Habitide, and the constant learning energizes me. Waiting for a mystical “perfect idea” and feeling like a cog in the corporate machine. Building dozens of apps, shipping daily progress updates, and seeing strangers find value in my side projects. How do you carve out time for your side passions?
