Ask HN: Side project with spouse

3 pointsby selmatalmost 9 years ago
Have you any side project with your spouse? For example:<p>Few examples around me:<p>&gt; She make and sell handmade products, manage handmade enthusiast community. He developed web platform and mobile app. &gt; She has &quot;how-to&quot; podcasts about beauty (hairs, makeup), he handle technical part of recording, pre&#x2F;post-processing, publishing platform.<p>I am wondering if your spouse is taking advantage of your dev skills (besides of main household income).

LOL Well my wife does QA of projects I work on from open source game servers to various things I build around the house for fun. She&#x27;s quite good at bug reports and very detail oriented, she&#x27;s comfortable running the same manual test over and over to prove something broken or to check if my change fixed it.<p>Recently she asked me to build a skill for Alexa (Amazon Echo) to trigger the custom cat feeder I built a while back to drop food when she commanded. I managed to get the skill working in about an hour and she now enjoys playing with it when she thinks that cat needs a bit more food in her bowl.<p>I have been very lucky to have deep ties where my life overlaps with my spouse and couldn&#x27;t imagine how it could be any different.
