How is it different then if a Company uses your code without paying you due to a permissive license? It sounds like Open Source doesn't fit your mindset.
I don't use permissive licenses for just that reason. If someone wants to make money off my work, they can cut me in on it or find a different piece if code.
It hasn't changed anything for me. I don't really care if AI trains on my code or not. I write open source to share the code for other developers and give back as a way of pay it forward, to all the people's libraries I've relied on before.
Are people open sourcing their works in hopes to make money and that's their concern? I've never heard of that from people involved in open source.
To add on, r/financialindependence has a good wiki that will also link back to Boglehead, but can cover some of the more advanced concepts and tie it into the FIRE movement (even if you don't want to RE).
I have 2 primary side-projects, one that has become a popular open source project and another which is a personal tool.
For me, I commit myself to work on it every day except vacations. I use a kanban board for tracking work and just do things that feel natural. When I'm grinding out a big story, sometimes I switch and just focus on small bugfixes or random ideas to rebuild the motivation.
My other side project is much less worked on. But when I have a need in the software, I just focus on it for a week and document everything in Github issues. Usually the needs are quite complex and the fun of solving and getting a nice solution is fun enough to help drive me through.
I only work on things that I have a need for and I think that helps a lot with the mindset of finishing it off.
For me, a break due to a stressful period at work or long vacation is typically crushing my momentum, and I'm rarely able to continue working on the side project after. How do you deal with it?
Very different. That was the .NET I knew in college, .NET Core really changed the game. I personally use CLI just for EF Core (ORM) but Rider support is there so you're not tied to VS.
My fav feature is honestly how little boilerplate I need compared to Spring Boot and the syntax sugar is honestly really nice.
I'm still working on Kavita, an open source, self hosted book/comic media server with a strong focus on metadata. Been in deep developing a custom annotation/highlight system for epubs.
This is similar to how I use Claude (bought a Pro sub this year). I like to group up context into the UI and have it either look over my approach or write some skeleton code, then I do the heavy lifting myself.
It's faster for me to do it manually (and I still learn) than having to find hard to spot bugs from the AI output (as it always outputs some weird stuff).
Why can't this be done with epub? Single file, all files are packed within the zip, no javascript needed but can be included. Allows for markup and forms, just like pdf.
