Why Do We Dump Our Greatest Projects?
- nc17 14y agoMaybe you only think those projects were the best because you dumped them. Had you stuck with them, they may not look so good know. How do you know it's not hindsight bias?
- merty 14y agoAs I mentioned in the text, I think they were the best in terms of usefulness. Though you are right about the hindsight bias, there is no way to tell. Maybe, just like many human beings, I tend to glorify things I lost.

- ricardobeat 14y agoMert: this svbtle theme is nice but it makes you look cheap. I'm not affiliated to svbtle in any way, just think that it's terrible taste to use such a blatant copy of someone else's website, specially for someone who works in tech.
