> - People might criticize my messy/bad/unfinished code

As someone who has created and maintained open source projects (most recently Willow[0]) for two decades I get a kick out of this.

Of course when interacting with users and feedback I keep it polite but in my head I'm thinking "You like to talk. I actually DID this. Shut up or submit a PR".

Surprise surprise they almost never do.

Keep actually producing and shake the haters off!
