The problem with personal projects is they almost always lack the scale, complexity, or real world constraints/drivers that real work does. Helpful to feel like you're actually building something but it is kind of boring to build things without a team. I really do enjoy learning from others with different approaches and learning from pairing and mentoring more junior developers and having to explain why we are doing things. There are just so few repetitions at BigTechCos that its hard to get that there.
