I mean, there are a number of reasons why you might want to have on which, which I'm sure we'll get into, but I'd say that's the high level definition.Īll right. So stuff that you're doing, if you have a day job that you kind of, like, do on your own time on on evenings and weekends, or if you're a student, or if in your, your in your job search, it's just kind of like, the thing you do to, to kind of keep the x sharp.
