It doesn't sound like you were working on a side project there, and even then, you have one bad experience and throw your hands up?
You can have a rewarding personal life and still learn while building something on the side, and show it to the world. But, I think you have to be prepared to appreciate the process without expectation of payoff. Just my observation, your comments read like there is a preoccupation with the latter.
- vinceguidry 10y agoThere's no point in shipping unless you're gunning for a payoff. Sure, if you want to find meaning in giving total random strangers things that they want you to give them, knock yourself out.
- deepaksurti 10y ago>> There's no point in shipping There is a lot of point in shipping, and as somebody else pointed out that something made in 2 hours can also be shipped. What shipping has taught me is to really really restrict the scope, the un-essentials. That in turn has helped in my day job as well, to negotiate correctly on milestones, feature scope etc helping me in staying sane and productive! >> strangers things that they want you to give them I don't know if you mean OSS users by this but if yes, then where are these users pestering the authors to give them something, they just lap it up if it is useful when the author gives it to them.
