Ugh. This post and <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=8712035" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=8712035</a> just gave me some incentives to do the following to these types of GitHub issues on my OSS projects:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mizzao&#x2F;meteor-autocomplete&#x2F;issues&#x2F;98" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mizzao&#x2F;meteor-autocomplete&#x2F;issues&#x2F;98</a>

Answer to clickbait title found 20 minutes in:<p>Opensourcing a project that becomes popular induces guilt, because it needs your time and attention to thrive, but you can&#x27;t afford to give it, especially if you&#x27;re interested in creating other things.

This is one of those situations where it would be great to have slides detailing points of the video. His are just drawings of some people&#x27;s names and time points. I love the retro, sketch-style art but it doesn&#x27;t tell me a thing. Several minutes in of rambling and I <i>still</i> don&#x27;t know what it&#x27;s about. Click the little X...<p>So, out of thousands of vids on the net on OSS or programming... each 20+ min long... why watch this unless I&#x27;m already a fan of the authors work? Not even critiquing the presentation as much as saying: give us a matching article or slides that lets us determine if we really want to watch the video. If it strikes a chord, people watch the presentation. Otherwise, most will just skip it and miss out on any gems it might have had. And that&#x27;s a <i>rational</i> decision given the flood of info on the web.<p>This applies to a ton of videos rather than just @fat&#x27;s. Anyone having to do a lot of research or want to get most out of their time relies on summaries. People not doing them are reducing impact of their own work.

This sounds like a good article (from the title), however my company seems to have bulk-blocked the .xxx TLD. Out of curiosity, why did you put your blog on the .xxx domain?<p>Unless you are talking about open-source boobs, or something. Then I understand completely.

Or you can not maintain your projects and it doesn&#x27;t matter.
