"Finish your projects", finger wags cheerful guy full of certainties, paid by large American corporation that makes money from your finished projects and doesn't care what happens to you before, during or afterwards.

- outsomnia 3y agoGood job you're there to lift the tone!
- vaylian 3y agoIt makes sense to add this context. But I still think the advice and explanations in the blog post are more generally applicable than just to GitHub projects.
- aarondf 3y agoI do work for an American corporation, but we're not large! Less than 100 people I think. I do care about what happens to you, but I assume you're saying GitHub doesn't. I don't work for GitHub. I'm working incredibly hard to provide a better life for my family. For my two-year-old twins. Finishing projects is part of that work. It's not easy but I think it's worth it. If you're curious about my story of working, side-hustling, and spending time with my family here's an hour of me talking about it: https://saas.transistor.fm/episodes/bootstrapping-with-kids https://saas.transistor.fm/episodes/bootstrapping-with-kids. It's full of nuance that you might be wishing was in the article.
