CAPTURE LESS THAN YOU CREATE
Summary from the TLDR newsletter
The success of others shouldn't diminish your satisfaction with your own efforts. Working on open source means you will capture vanishingly less than you create as you are offering software with no strings attached to anyone who might wish to build. Thus, developers shouldn't feel envious of their users and their success. Having 'enough' is a special kind of wealth.
