Valid point. It's better than nothing though :)


I respect your view here but I believe developers have a responsibility to maintain the code they release into the world.


Unfortunately this was not the case. For ranking purposes Kojitsu had to crawl every unique link it found which ended up being very resource intensive. There were multiple servers dedicated to crawling, in addition to the app and db servers.

Running Kojitsu taught me a lot about building up technical infrastructure.


Thanks for sharing this :)


I used to feel exactly the same way. To me it felt like sacrificing things in my personal life was all 'just part of being an entrepreneur'. Sure you're going to need to give up some things if you want to succeed, but I don't think that should ever include spending time with the people that are closest to you.
