Mathias's mock turtle soup

“

As far as identifying and releasing simple, useful code, don't spend too much time thinking about it. Go about your day, your normal routine, but keep an eye out for things causing you pain. Things causing your coworkers pain.

An annoying kink in your deployment? Repetitive and error prone security practices? Bug in the authentication plugin you're using?

Keep your eyes open and, when you identify a pain point, something causing friction in your workflow, write it down. Store it somewhere.

Later that night you pour yourself a glass of wine, maybe some bourbon, sit down on the couch and write a solution.

Keep it simple and make sure you can complete the library or plugin in one night. Then write a blog post and release it.
