I would absolutely contribute to others' projects and allow contributions into yours. When contributing to others' projects, you are adding value back into the machine in great ways, building contacts, and gaining experience. I'd advise when starting your own projects, just to make them worthwhile in and of themselves, with lasting value. They shouldn't be projects that you would abandon if they don't gain traction quickly.

Thanks for the compliment on the post. I hoped to provide genuine help based on my learnings. Empty motivation is pretty lame if you ask me.
