 Should I publicly release a super niche piece of software that is only useful to me? 🤔 
 Yes 
 Fine 
 Why not?  Someone else might find it useful as well. Hard to tell how these things work sometimes :) 
 Making it public involves some extra dev work and docs to make it pretty and minimally acceptable 🤭 
 I am aware. 
 Lets go 💪 
 yes

 all human misery arises from “what is it in for me ?” It is almost as bad as debt based monetary system. 
 Its just a meme, but it's also possible to monetize open source software (e.g. consulting, support, source viewable, infrastructure, extensions) 
 Always... 
 Already did 😉
