Copyright the code yourself, first. All's fair in love, business and war.

Why set up this dichotomy?

You don't have to hang out with the kind of people who go to "hipster parties and concerts."

Follow the smarts. Smart people, smart ideas... smart code.

If you're asking, do you follow a path in life to make money off of code or socializing with people, why not do both? Be a manager, technical writer, or UI specialist.

The internet is AOL now, my friend. My condolences. Keep developing your program. Most social apps end in failure because they have no use.

Any really good skill is completely organic this way. Your brain fuses a whole bunch of thoughts, instead of producing just one that you can put into words, and you just do it.

That's the fun part.

I used to hate the idea of having a blog because every other blog I read strikes me as "This person is really full of themselves, and not that important."

Yet there were things I wanted to talk about, including things I'd invented.

So I struck a compromise: I treat my blog like a newspaper about things, and not me. Which is good, since I'm more boring than even the most boring newspaper.

I prefer Perl

It's safer than my hobby, which is robbing banks without a mask.
