@fullstackclown can you briefly describe the project you did and thought was cool? I say no matter how little praise you get for it, if you believe in it, keep doing it.

FWIW I became co-maintainer of imagemin (img compression bin wrappers for npm), it's the opposite of hype and usually buried deep in project dependency trees but also useful as hell. -
You build something that you think is cool. That is what counts! You probably also learned a lot on the way about it as well. Do (legal, and morally right) things that make you happy, not other people. Also surround yourself with people that pull you up and not bring you down, you already identified the latter as it sounds like.
This is just sad
When you realize that you're googling an error message you've implemented yourself
I spent the last three weeks+ (literally THREE full weeks, weekends too) building something I thought was really cool, powerful, and useful. Made a blog post, posted a giant thread on the company Twitter.
Literally one person gave it a like.
I don't know why I give shit anymore, cuz nowadays if it isn't about getting rich quick, cHaTgPt, or some other made up hype, no one cares. Apparently I shouldn't either...
Meanwhile my 16 GIGABYTE RAM MAC, yes 16 GIGABYTE RAM can't even hold power while plugged in, and I'm still clowning around with an ancient iPhone 6 (actually one of my mom's old iphones) that barely stays above 20% battery for more than an hour...
And FINALLY, my FUCKING ISP is for sure screwing me, since I've been doing some hard core data streaming and broadcasting, even though I pay $60+ month for that shit it, keeps dropping out, shit doesn't load.... I mean wtf this isn't 1990 dialup AOL anymore
When I step back I just feel like the worlds biggest loser, maybe the world's biggest 🤡
