Thanks, John! I really appreciate your response; you’ve got a lot of good advice there. I’ll quickly respond here from my phone.

I’m trying to learn some other languages/architectures, and side projects are basically everything I’ve worked on so far. With school in the way it’s hard to find enough time for everything. That’s why I’m trying to find something really interesting to work on this summer.

Also: I looked into those laws a bit and it seems like once I’m 14 (I will be once an internship for me could start), I can work 8 hours/day while school isn’t in session.
