the more people using your program the more free support you're expected to provide. unless you go full st. terry and tell anyone who isn't reducing the size of your codebase to fuck off.

>no one will ever accept your pull request

A thread dies for this.

I feel like all the programming work ive done has been a complete waste

>>1040371

unironically this

You guys should try physical exercise, get that testosterone pumping. I can hear your balls shriveling from here.

>>1040373

Why would you do physical exercise when you could just go on TRT and get giant Chad balls without any exertion?

>>1040374

implying it works like that

Anyway I have a site that's pretty popular and that's enough for me.

>>1040372

Get paid for it

>>1040358 (OP)

That's what Linus thought.

>>1040376

that doesn't make the work itself any less of a waste

now you just have some money

>>1040358 (OP)

Keep trying. Eventually you will write something people will use. Something I wrote in PIC assembly doing a super simple job (lighting lights based on button presses) is in use by local government. All in a device I designed and built and installed. feelsgoodman.jpg

>>1040367

what site is that?

>>1040381

itch.io

Website is great but the owners are cucks.

I made a shitty free rogue like porn game that was used for a short while till people got annoying so I killed the project. People using your softwsre isnt that exciting or will give you meaning in life defintly when you have other shit like a job or school.

The more programs you write the more likely it is people will use them, it's the law of averages.

Not if the chance that someone uses it is zero.

100 * 0 is still 0

I got someone proposing me $50 to keep working on a small tool... so I guess they use it.

>>1040454

i'll do it for $20

>>1040448

can't be zero if you release it

>>1040454

what tool? i'll do it for $5
