@dansup Yeah, I made a similar case about this recently. It’s one thing if you’re just adding features and having fun (CalcKey was a good example), but long-term sustainability for a project requires sticking to it, dedicating loads of time and energy to doing the boring, monotonous, unsexy stuff as well as the exciting hot new stuff.
I think writing a project from scratch puts a dev in the position that they can’t easily back out of development without shutting down completely. There is no upstream to dump work off to, because you’re the upstream.
