Okay so P2PRC is a technical topic atleast for as it's about a peer to peer networks that is designed for computation. This post is about how I feel mentally working on this project. What I am talking about in post can be linked to how I feel working in
any of my personal projects.
At the current stage of P2PRC I have been trying to use free time
on trying to build a binary that just works. I know it's being
optimistic but I am way over my head at many instances. The painful
part for me would be trying to figure how to socialize and get people interested in the project.
At the current moment P2PRC project is like me talking to myself.
Example I create an Issue , fix it and review my own code. It's like taking to yourself. This is fine initially but it just feels
extremely (i.e in kind words) lonely. No one is blame for this
but it's a true fact in my case simple as that.
I have no idea on why I keep working on this project. I guess
maybe it's just that I have fun doing it. The true fact is that it
is fun at times and really lonley at many times. As a hacker or
Open Source developer (i.e call it whatever you like). The important thing would just be feedback and hopefully feeling
happy on what you built something stable.
I promoised that I would continue this project for 3 more years and
see how it continues from there. The project is at the very initial stages and very tough to say what would be it's fate. The aim of this was to be halping hand towards the main aim of creating a distributed game engine. But I am at the moment still on how a
game engine works.
