These rules are simply fabulous! I stumbled your blog this while looking for places to post (beg people) to check out a personal bug-tracking tool that quickly became "work." Once I got started, it was hard to stop, and now it's out there in the world of bug-tracking systems and probably will never recoup the hundreds of hours put into it. Doh! Contrast that to a very small web app I built around a word game my college-bound daughter taught me. Just a few days to build it, and now some friends (and strangers) and I are simply enjoying the fun. Definitely doesn't feel like work. So, in the spirit of rule #5: http://www.butheresthething.com - Rich Excellent post Masukomi! These rules are simply fabulous!

I REALLY like this: "Instead of hacking the next great foo, consider adding that feature you always wished that app you use every day had." Contribution of new features/improvements is so important to open source projects. It's the why-not-do-it-yourself way of thinking. I wish I had the energy to post in this kind of detail.
