I can’t imagine I said “bad practices” but then I’m not renowned for my tact! I stand by my point – I think you’d get a lot out of open source especially dipping in and working with other people, and if the projects you worked on weren’t things you personally were responsible for. Shut down what you have, take time to do other stuff, family/technical/off-the-wall/whatever things. Then see if you get hungry for more.

Also: campfire manager was a damn good idea with some really awkward bugs on the day. I’d like to see someone make something like it (but maybe simpler! This project always blew my mind a bit) at a hackathon, and am filing that thought for later use.
