Life of an open source programmer

open-source-logo

I am a programmer. Yes a musician to.  But most of all a programmer. Yes for sure. No question about that.

At Friday last week I started to do a reversion of the REST interface of the VSCP daemon.  Nothing strange. I do that all the time.  A fast reversion. A day to fix.

Today, Tuesday,  after working on this, including the  weekend,  since then, I am still at it.  And I will be the rest of the day. At least.

Oh well. Nothing strange. Life of a programmer. In this project I have been at it for fifteen years.

The question is why? The fix I spent so much effort on the last couple of days will hardly be noted by anyone.  Is it worth it?  Is it worth the time I could have spent on other things? Is it worth the money I spend to keep this going, money that I probably never will get back?

I don’t know. But I will continue. Life of an open source programmer. Stupid people.
