Never confuse attention with achievement.

Being seen and having done something are separate facts, and they come apart easily. Attention can attach to very little, and real achievement often produces none at all, which means using visibility as your measure will steer you wrong in both directions.

Judge your work by what it actually produced or changed, in terms you would accept from someone else. Then treat any attention as weather. Pleasant when it comes, not evidence of anything, and never the reason to choose a project.
