A slightly more abstract aspect overlooked in the xkcd comic is that of learning. What you learn doing a project may help you in making other projects, which will take less time to develop and thus have a better ROI. These kinds of benefits are more difficult to calculate, but equally valid. I

Sorry guys, it was meant to be tongue in cheek! Sometimes I spend so much time making a feature that saves less time than it took to make the feature. That's where the link led: [image: https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/is_it_worth_the_time_2x.png] -- You received this
