Yes but not as much as I like to. The guys who build a project management tool may benefit the most I think.
We are building a site to engage people to write daily (in English), www.dailythem.es, and while I know using the site more is very useful, I have to keep thinking about the business direction and figure out user demographic before I spend all days using my own product.
In this case I probably should consider myself happy: I'm on the developer team of Collabtive, a free open source Basecamp alternative, i.e. a project management software.
In fact it is very easy to use our own product not only for project management in the strict sense of the term, but also for bug tracking, file storage and distribution and community management.
Besides it being useful for us, we have already been able to put a lot of our own requirements into the published version.
> A big part of my loneliness was I refused to accept that I am actually a pretty introverted, non-verbal person
The author was a senior when I was a freshman in college. He was one of the upperclassmen that I looked up to. He was very smart, good looking and we hung out sometimes when he would give me good advice. It never occurred to me that he's introverted and that he should have a reason to feel lonely. Quite a strange feeling when I saw this post from twitter. I feel guilty for not understanding him enough but it's nice to see this useful and positive post.
iDoneThis is quite an inspiration: a simple idea executed well. I'm also using it and trying to get my team on board. I should remember this example and reach out to iDoneThis in a few months ;-)
Hope it's not superfluous to point out, but it's kind of funny: "By By Elon Musk" is seen under the title. That sounds hostile :) (the duplicate By isn't seen in other posts on the blog)
