It's for the cv and getting hired through the tech stack. Most hope to become next fastapi

Well yeah, and there is no support. I've had this issue open for months:

...sometimes people build things for fun, or as proofs of concept for iterative improvement on existing tools (which can then go on to inspire changes in existing and new mainline tools).

What does that have to do with (negative) mental health?

No, it’s a pain in the ass to do this. It’s not fun at all. It’s more a kind of boosting that makes it fun. Just aimlessly coding is dumb to justify.

I like LiteStar for this reason. It's similar to FastAPI, but I like the breadth of leadership involved.

I built Blazeio ([https://github.com/anonyxbiz/Blazeio]) because aiohttp let me down in production. I needed a framework I could trust to support high-concurrency web apps, and rather than just complain, I decided to build it myself. It’s not about coding pointlessly, it’s about solving real problems. I update it for me, but since others have faced similar challenges, they can benefit from it too. I designed to be efficient, scalable, and lightweight, capable of handling hundreds of thousands of requests on a single server with minimal resources. Sometimes, creating something is motivated by necessity, not just by a paycheck.
