I'd like to imagine I'm not the only one who struggles with the desire to create, share, and upkeep things that I've previously shared. This feels more acute when it's a tool someone else might use.

I've been coming to grips with this "personal tech debt", not sure what else to call it and wrote a post about it [1]. I would love to hear how others deal with this, especially those working on small FOSS projects that are "scratch your own itch".

Tech debt for personal projects

A great thing about Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) is that anyone can create a thing, share it with others, and anyone else can contribute and make it better. It’s also great to solve a problem for yourself and just share it with the world just in case it helps someone else. I know I have benefited from both those modalities, so I have tried to share a few tools and knowledge on this blog and through my repos.
