If your code was used at some point, did what it was supposed to do when it was needed, and paid your rent, how can you think it was wasted?
Yeah it got me money, but I kind of feel like I'm scamming VCs, which isn't a bad. It's just I'm not really contributing to anything
I struggle with this feeling a lot as well. I think it's partly due to labor alienation, at least partially.
Scamming stupid VCs is just a bonus.
It's also a public service, the sooner each VC is dead broke, the sooner their stupid stops making life worse for everyone else.
