Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

	// DON'T use the delete operator, it leaves a hole in the array:
	var arr = [4, 5, 6];

	// This library re-implements setTimeout, setInterval, clearTimeout, clearInterval for iOS6.
	// iOS6 suffers from a bug that kills timers that are created while a page is scrolling.
	// This library fixes that problem by recreating timers after scrolling finishes (with interval correction).
	// This code is released in the public domain. Do with it what you want, without limitations. I do not promise
	// that it works, or that I will provide support (don't sue me).

	/*
	* Plugin: StreamlineFoundation
	*
	* Class: Schedule
	*
	* Description: Provides scheduling mechanics including creating a schedule, testing if a specific moment is part of the schedule, moving back
	* and forth between scheduled moments in time and translating the created schedule back to a human readable form.
	*
	* Usage: ::fromCronString() creates a new Schedule class and requires a string in the cron ('* * * * *', $language) format.

	#!/bin/bash
	# portable way to ensure :
	#
	# * only one process at the time (prevents process-overlap, handy for cron workers)
	# * reverse cron's email behaviour (only emails on error)
	# * ultraportable: only reliest on flock, not on debians 'start-stop-daemon' or centos 'daemon'
	# * readable process names in top
	#
	# usage: ./lazycron <my-unique-id> <application> [args]
	# example: ./lazycron cron-my-process php foo.php
