I release most of the code I write in my free time. There's no specific reason I do it. A while back people were mentioning using GitHub as a resume or a supplement to a resume. I like the idea, but I'm not sure how much it's used as that, or even if my code would say anything good about me. Mostly it's just a convenient way to have the stuff I write available where ever I am. None of it's spectacularly useful, but if it helps somebody out, cool. Of the open source software that I use, I've yet to contribute back. The biggest reason is just a lack of time. On top of digging through the code to fix the bug, most projects have guidelines and a process for submitting patches. Even a little bug can be a big time sink the first time through. I do submit bug reports, if that counts...
