This reminded me of the joys of self publishing physical media. I used to write instruction booklets that taught people how to grow hydroponics. A highly technical subject that I was trying to make accessible to people who were not technical. I got a lot of this satisfaction from writing and distributing my own software as well. Most of my enjoyment came from the interaction with others that these made possible. I also realized that I'm suffering digital burnout and I feel much the same way as the author of the article. I have considered leaving it all and probably would have were I not responsible for my family. I think this served a a powerful reminder to me about the need to create things and transmit ideas that aren't reliant on the fleeting nature of our digital world.
