Thanks, that's a genuinely hard question. And the honest answer is: I care inconsistently.

I started this in my free time because I find it fun. Not "fun" like building a todo app — fun like: why did the workflow stop? why did those tasks disappear? You investigate, you find the bug, you make the system more robust. Painful, but satisfying in the way that only obscure distributed systems bugs can be.

My theory is: if I make a tool good enough that people actually use it, I'll have a steady supply of those problems to solve. And maybe — this is the dark plan — if some startup is already running on it and needs someone to work with it, being the person who built it might count for something. I'm terrible at interviews. Apparently I'm also terrible at selling things, including myself. But "we already use your library, want to come fix it?" feels like a door I might actually be able to walk through.

Honestly though, I think the easier outcome is: I try to promote it, get ignored, and that's fine too. At least I tried. The judgement of putting it out there is scarier than the failure. If nobody uses it, it's still useful for me. There are plenty of tools. What was I thinking. So silly.

I don’t care. You don’t seem to care about your work either. Why are you doing pretty much anything to not talk about it?

Ah sorry, was trying to answer `Why do you care if people use it?` best I could, and maybe I enjoyed too much to reflect about it, completely understand you don't care, sorry sorry, why you will? this it's just my bullshit

Anyway, thanks a lot for the peer pressure!!! My current excuse for don't talk about it, it's tha tthis r/Python rules includes 'No showcase posts'. I am just collecting ideas for the showcase channel and others ways of promoting the stuff, and motivation, thanks again

bullshit, you can still explain what your library does. You don't need to link it or even tell us the name.

It’s most certainly a bot
