No I’ve never been that great at getting along with other (coders). Much faster to just go where I need to go on my own. Fail. Time to stop being an island, there are far too many compelling shoulders to stand on these days. Strategy shift:

  • my Reusable repo will be for helpers and glue, not for major functionality that can be better found (and maintained!) by others
  • Pick and CONFORM to good libraries. Better to mildly fork them than try to maintain everything myself.

Seems pretty obvious in hindsight. Working with the Causam team, and collaborating on Simple-Web-Server, were the catalysts, thanks guys.
