Frank Zappa once said: "The crux of the biscuit is: If it entertains you, fine. Enjoy it. If it doesn't, then blow it out your ass. I do it to amuse myself. If I like it, I release it. If somebody else likes it, that's a bonus."

If you are good at getting inanimate objects ("computers") to do something useful, and you still enjoy it, then do that. Turn off the comments. Turn off the bug reports. Torvards said, "Real men don't back up. They upload on ftp and let the world mirror it."

Dealing with people can be a pain in the ass. So don't.

Find other things to do to provide some balance. Cooking. Sailing. Gardening. Nand2tetris. Whatever!

My bottom line: the universe is fascinating and awesome. What's it all about? So, I do physics.
