Contributing to open source projects has many benefits — you learn and you teach, you can make friends or find business partners, you might get a chance to travel. Even have a keynote at a conference, like Gary did.

The future me will be grateful for this post. I always get it wrong the first time.

I made such a stupid mistake today and lost an hour of my time trying to figure out what the hell is wrong, that I just have to blog it.

Keeping your application or library code well organized, easy to follow, and read is important. Your test code should not be exempt from those rules, you should follow good testing conventions.
