I'm curious - when you hack together a solution to a problem (physical, digital, or both), are you more likely to focus on a solution that works just for your purpose or a solution that can be implemented for others too?<p>For those of you who do create personal hacks, what would it take to convince you to put in the effort to make your hacks repeatable (and/or public)?
There can be two scenarios :<p>1) One hacks it for himself, and share it so that others having same problems can also use it for free/$, or improve it(open source).<p>2) One does it for others even if he isn't doing it for himself, because, he believes there are many prospective users for it and some kind of monetary/non-monetary benefits attached to it.<p>> For those of you who do create personal hacks, what would it take to convince you to put in the effort to make your hacks repeatable (and/or public)?<p>Is there anyone other than me who may pay attention for what so ever reason?
