Why would you write something if no one will use it?
It is easy to get caught up with the web trends and forget about shipping products. This happens to me all the time. I have a hard drive full of prototypes and concepts, yet my github account is really sparse.
I'm still going to program in my off-hours, but now will document the changes I make. I already announced my goal of one screencast a week to be posted to this blog. Instead of starting new projects I am going to fork existing projects, build out more thorough examples and submit them back. I'll update libraries as needed to make my examples work.
2011 is going to be a very public year for me and I look forward to it.
