But you might also have to ask yourself, whether getting there gives you more in return than just the time you save once it's done,
i.e. having fun coding it, feeling proud of having it done in a clever way etc.
Most of my "home" projects would never have passed the first question anyway.

And, it's not just the satisfaction in coding, but helping others by sharing your routines!
LOL, serendipity, I realize you're not completely serious...

You made the point i was expecting to see, i.e. if you share something you've spent a lot of time making it then it's well worth that effort.
That chart was more on a light note!
