Daydreaming of a Coding Snack
« on: June 21, 2013, 01:42 AM »

I am posting this in "Unfinished" because I don't want to clutter the official thread!

Most snacks come from "Hi. I am a desperate user who wants something. Please help me. I'll pet my cat in your name if you do."

I just got the random sorta-social idea of wondering "who is bored and feels like making a somewhat strange coding snack?" Aka "Supply Push" rather than "Demand Pull". I haven't even thought about *what* I would want as a snack, but if there's a bored developer (developer developer developer!) around, I might go into "Daydream mode" and see what pops up! "Gee, what am I doing a zillion times a week that would be reeeeealy fun to have a snack for?"

:)

That's completely in the realm of normal coding snack request, and such requests are more than welcome.. Just be nice and note when you make such a request that it's not something you desperately need just an idea you came up with that you might not even actually use.

Noted, though theoretically whatever I come up with *would* be something I'd use, just I'm right now in a bit of a "I don't know what I don't know I need" dept. : )

Maybe you need a "brainstorming snack" to aid you in coming up with other snack ideas?  Something like Burroughs cutting the newspaper strips and arranging them.  Categories of software just jumpled with computer-related verbs or something?  :)
