I really liked this talk & the speaker’s perspective of seeing each bug/issue as an opportunity to reach out & help the community of users of the OSS project while “teaching them how to fish.”

Is this something that exists or is this an outline of an API that you want to build?

  This appears to be a description of an organization system for email addresses, not a tool per sé. You can implement it yourself already; it uses only common UNIX command-line tools.
  
  Sime has a folder “adr” containing files whose names are email addresses. He uses ls, touch, and rm to list, create, and delete those files. He wrote a shell alias mailto that opens the program mail with the email that is the name of the given file – this is presumably so you can tab-complete filenames to simulate tab-completing email addresses.

  Thanks! Should I submit the story linked here separately under git tag or would that be against guidelines?

@danieldyba: I found the idea of writing even when you are not literally writing powerful. A lot of times, I am not writing code but thinking about the problem. I also found it funny that writers, just like coders, have the same problem of talking more about writing than writing :).

While the article is written from a writer’s perspective, there are a lot of parallels to programming here.
