 Best way to keep builders from getting burnt out? Don't talk shit. Nothing is more demoralizing than seeing ignorant people trash something you've put your heart into for a period of months or years.

 I see that too much unfortunately. We got to show more love to the builders for sure 🫂💜 
 Talking shit is good as long as it's all true. 
 Being blind to our own ignorance is all too common. Unfortunately, the strength to admit our own weakness is not. 

For every one loud shit-talker, there's 100 other people who are quietly inspired. Try not to forget that.  
 Absolutely true 
 Or, ignore those who talk shit? 
 You can be more or less resilient, but no one is immune to it. Also, other less informed people get taken in by the trash talkers. 
 If you can’t take the heat get out of the kitchen. Life isn’t considerate, it’s hard, only the strong survive. 

Props to Odell for not wilting in the heats 
 Both  pieces of advice can be true at the same time 
 Accept your advice is trying to control others and my advice is about the only thing someone can control, oneself. 
 Except* fucking keyboard corrections 
 Be impeccable with your word & don't make assumptions.

But most importantly, take nothing personally (good or bad), it was never about you. 
 Yep. That's exactly why I cap dev hours at 10 hrs max a week. I'm "retired", and I don't need to prove myself anyone at this point. 

I'm doing  art + engineering because I enjoy it. 

haters gonna hate. Just mute'm with a smile. 😄
