Comment Where's communication? (Score 2) 77

5. Communication

So, you've built something, or at least you've learned something. Then you need to go to conferences, meetups, bars, whatever floats your social boat and explain what you did. Memorialize it in blog posts, articles, or documentation (please?). Even a failed project will spin off some small piece that stands by itself and fills a need somewhere.

Like "Geek Street" in San Francisco, a spurious feature like this is known as "bunny":
