+1 this advice.

I was building another startup, and I stumbled across this problem of managing my images better.

And it ended up doing better than the initial product I was working on. Had I not built something in the first place, I wouldn't have known. I think it's a good example of a Micro-Side project

Or the side project you work on won’t be successful but you can reuse pieces of it for other projects. Code doesn’t stop working just because a product didn’t materialize.
