What if I know how to code and most of the tools that I can't find can easily be implemented in crude yet effective scripts? Usually I weigh out the cons and the pros and end up creating a simple script/task that I, as a programmer, can efficiently use, yet it's far away from being published. Am I the only one who makes something useful for self only to understand that it requires substantial effort, time and devotion to turn into an open source product?



Are you the only one? No way.

The vast, vast majority of the code I write is only used by me. It's not on github, it's not "published"; it's just to scratch an itch.


You could publish a gist, maybe.
