Publishing stuff online doesn’t count. Nobody has to read this, so if you do I consider that as good as asking for it.↩︎
I’m not saying don’t care about other people. I’m saying: Don’t worry about what they think of or want from you. If they need help and you can provide it, great! Do that. Caring is not the same as worrying. Also, did I mention these are aspirational?↩︎
