Ask HN: Should I continue working a Ruby gem for Visa API?

[nambante]

I've begun working on a ruby gem for visa.com api and have made around 10 commits. Then, after a few days, I realized that visa.com will probably introduce its own SDK for the major languages such as Java, Ruby, Python, JS. And they'll, including one in Ruby, of course be de-facto standard.

I wonder, should I continue working on my own ruby gem then?

I think it depends on why your are working on it. Having your own removes a dependency on something that doesn't exist yet.

Good luck.

for my portfolio. for the community. and maybe for myself.
