No Pain, No Gain

In an interview with the creator of jQuery UI, Paul Bakaus explains how jQuery UI was born:

I had a day job, and I estimated I would need to work on it 3-4 hours everyday. After some days of consideration, I finally said ‘yes’, and for a three month period woke up every day at 6am to work for 3 hours on jQuery UI and then go to my day job. Now I can say that it was worth it. :)

Reminder to self: “DON’T BE LAZY! YOU COUCH POTATO!”
