Not everyone can be at the front of the game. This of course holds true in our little open source world. We all can’t be the Github’s or <insert other company you believe to be successful right here>. But here is a little tip:
Every time you you give someone a tidbit that because a part of their success, you too are part of that success.
Of course that doesn’t mean they owe you some sort of financial prize or even acknowledgement. The real reward is just knowing you helped moved someone a little farther along.
My friend Chris Strom blogs. As a matter of fact, I think he blogs just about every single day. The best thing is his blogs are never rants or fluff. They almost always have code, and they always provide great insight into what makes Chris ticks. I read his posts when ever I have time just to see what he is up to.
Tonight I read his latest post, and instantly a smile instantly lit up my face. Little tidbits like that are what keep me going, and hopefully I can inspire someone else to do something great in the near future.
(of course I hope I was the source of inspiration for this, if not… we can just pretend I was)
