graduate before you abandon

This article discusses the inevitable abandonment of code projects over time, but highlights a potential saving grace: when a project 'graduates' by being adopted into a larger, more active project. The author shares personal experiences where their widgets from wigglystuff were ported to marimo and scikit-lego components influenced scikit-learn. The piece emphasizes the importance of cross-project pollination for keeping creativity alive in the tech community.
