I suppose I should clarify: I don't maintain a list of mostly abandoned or "prototype" code. It'd get something new every few days. I also don't publish a lot of blog posts or open-source software. Instead, I try to find interesting clients, take on interesting projects at work, or experiment with new methodology there.. and maintain my "trophy case" on my resume. Does ~/scratchpad contain a crap-ton of half-baked or throw-away code? Sure, but I'm not about to spend time making a list or putting it on the internet.

- sophacles 17y agoYou seem to be opposing open source software to "interesting work" -- which in some feilds such an opposition holds truth. In others all the interesting work is open source. As for the post -- the question asked if everyone had a such a large list of pet projects. Your answer seems to be yes too. Sure you dont publish it, but you try to do new projects and methods at work -- pet projects are pet projects, whether at work or home. Also, keeping around "throwaway" code has helped me more than not -- I can find some half remembered example and be using the concept way quicker than trying to come up with it again.
