Any open source project? Typically people work on what they care about or what is obviously needed. Go with that flow instead of against it. Hire people eager to contribute.
Huh? Why don't lots of successful open source softwares run on agile, then?
Pretty sure having motivated people who find the work kinda fun destroys agile/any other methodology. When people wake up excited to pull down tickets or just get shit done, you're doing business right.
automating baulder's gate and such; game automation made me feel like I was a god. waking up in the morning and finding a ton of items _for free?!_ my god, what an incredible feeling as a kid.
gaming tournaments, making websites for my teachers.. I probably programmed 10,000 - 20,000 hours before I was paid a substantial amount. the first "contract" I ever did was for Magic The Gathering online when I was ~12...! made a little state machine that would rarely fuck up, always recover from problems, etc. etc.
> it's fairly fun to solve puzzles, but I don't enjoy it with the feverish intensity that the best developers seem to.
Sorry man, but if you aren't up all night having a blast solving problems then people like me will semi-easily crush you. For decades I've lost sleep because I'm obsessed with problems.
There's no way to compete. You kinda get the leftovers, if there are any?
Maybe switch careers into something you are super passionate about, or there's a ton of job openings where passion isn't as consequential.
Sorry to say, but yeah, why _should_ you beat me if I work twice as hard?
That it's just luck you win 50 dice rolls in a row, calling them each time. Maybe he knows something you don't, if you can't see it. Pretty clearly beyond luck at this point.
It's like a weird defense mechanism because you're jealous. "He's just a crypto bro."
I don't understand how what you're describing is batteries included where Django isn't?
It's typically not practical to solve "auth flows" in a centralized way -- needs are so different for different projects. There are tons of third party modules you can just plug in...
