   One of the many infortunate consequences of the success of GitHub is that lots of developers are now convinced that development has to be a public, social activity.

   You do not have to release everything you build. You do not have to accept patches. You do not have to answer to emails or to issues. You do not have to fix bugs or implement features. You do not even have to continue working on your projects.

   If any aspect of your public work stresses you, remember that.

     @galdor The British actress, film-maker, and poet, Michaela Coel was the first black woman to win an Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing. In her acceptance speech she said this:

     "In a world that entices us to browse through the lives of others… [and] to be constantly visible (for visibility these days seems to somehow equate to success), do not be afraid to disappear, from it, from us, for a while, and see what comes to you in the silence."

     (From today's Lectio365 devotional by Pete Greig.)
