Builders and developers build things because they believe in contributing to something larger than themselves and solving problems.
Open-source projects are often born from a desire to solve problems, learn something new, or explore possibilities without the need for market validation.
When making work public, not only code but possibilities are shared, inspiring others and being a resource for learning and collaboration.
The worth of creating something is not always measured in popularity, but in personal growth, learning, and contribution to the community's collective knowledge.
