shut up and code (программистское)

Крис Венстрат, основатель GitHub, советует всем в своей речи на конференции по Руби

My plea to you today is to start a side project. Scratch your own
itch. Be creative. Share something with the world, or keep it to
yourself.

Side projects are less masturbatory than reading RSS, often more
useful than MobileMe, more educational than the comments on Reddit,
and usually more fun than listening to keynotes.

"RSS" можно заменить на "ЖЖ" и так далее. Прав, в общем.
