I often have more coding projects than I have time to implement, but would be good little practice jobs for junior programmers to develop.

When I have some spare cash, I sometimes offer these little projects to interested parties, but it's never a substantial (living wage) payment. I've also suggested simple barter (such as write a one-day framework for something, and I'll send you an Amazon purchase of your choice).

It depends on my mood, and my backlog of wishful projects. The benefit to me is that it's zero risk: if someone doesn't accomplish the project, it doesn't disappoint me or put me behind schedule, because I have none.

I'm not sure if that's even the scale of "side work" you're looking for. But it works for some folks when they want to practice.
