On: How to start working on side projects

[chimi]

And you have provided no evidence that the best programmers you've worked with aren't actually below average programmers.

[wam → chimi]

Why does that matter?

[rhizome → wam]

Because the inverse would also have to be true: programmers with open source projects are worse than the programmers rdouble is describing.

[wam → rhizome]

Is that the inverse? Would all programmers with side projects necessarily be worse than the programmers rdouble knows who don't have side projects?
