https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5472746 . You can also post an email to me if you are feeling low. Not for the sake of argumentation but I have a slightly different take on what you have written. So some points IMHO : .."I have two aspiring github projects with growing communities." Great, you are a better programmer than me. Please mentor me. You can train fresh young programmers anywhere in the world. Teaching is a great morale booster and you will be changing lives of your students. .."But I don't know how to capitalize on that." Gotta learn it the hard way. Building a business is a different skill set than programming. Try something, fail and try something else. You will learn it and get better at it. The more skilled you get, the better you will be. .."I don’t want to work for typical internet businesses like a web framework, analytics startup, or a newspaper publisher. I don’t feel enthusiastic about selling advertisements or stuff that’s purely virtual." I agree with you on finding a more meaningful job. But selling advertisements is great if you are advertising a good cause. Making a web framework like Wordpress powering millions of blogs is just awesome. Again it is your personal choice but making someones life better is better than doing something. And doing something is better than doing nothing. |
