The Impact Github is Having on Your Software Career
I recently read a novel called &quot;A Fine Balance&quot; by Rohinton Mistry. One character, Ashraf Chacha, is a man who works as a tailor. He is extremely grieved by the death of his wife. He talks about how when she was alive it never bothered him to spend all of his time reading or sewing - just knowing she was there in another room was enough. But after she dies, he regrets all the time he foolishly spent away from her.<p>I don&#x27;t want to look back on my life with that feeling. As adults, we have very little free time and spending it on software seems like a gross misallocation of resources, even if our careers would benefit. There&#x27;s more to life than work.
