This is why you should always create something, even if you think it will never be accepted by a large audience. It is worth it for the journey itself.

Reading this post made me wish I had spent more time with 'gcj'. Though in all honesty I know I gave up on it because I didn't want to go the tougher way - the the normal JDK was just there. Creation is beautiful, and its ending bittersweet for the creator and the witnesses.

I live in the moment! Enjoy and cherish those magical times when the work is right, the team is right, and you're having fun. Don't let the stupid stuff bother you.

You can rebuild teams like that, find those projects, etc.. but it feels like an eternity when you've had it and then don't have it for a while.
