Making what people want isn’t enough, you have to share it
While I don't mind people sharing their work, I would argue quite the opposite. Make what you want and don't actively share it. Don't waste your time sharing and documenting only to waste even more time maintaining your project if "it becomes successful".<p>>Any programmer worth their salt has a collection of repos<p>Repos are cool but don't be a programmer. Programmers make programs. You should probably make money. If something is not worth selling, probably is not worth actively sharing & supporting either. Bill Gates is not known for his collection of repos.<p>> Factor in the extra time needed on your projects to tune your work and make it resonate with your audience. Be a prolific sharer.<p>Yeah, and don't forget to whip yourself regularly.
