OSS: Open Source Stress

Monday, January 7th, 2008

One thing I wasn’t expecting to happen when I open sourced Thrudb is the stress I now feel.

It’s great to receive interest, requests and help. Only now I have people waiting and watching for the next fix or feature. This isn’t something I worried about when it was just me on my couch at night. Now I want folks that take the time to try my software to have what they expect… a great piece of software. I have big plans for Thrudb and even bigger plans for what I’m building with it.

Stress is one of those double edge swords where it’s motivating but also distracting.

Family, Health, Job, Startup and now Thrudb… Let the juggling continue.
