OMG! THIS!
I don't think I couple have pulled it off if I didn't do this in college/summers when I had all that free time. It would have been impossible otherwise. That might be a valid criticism of my post... it presumes people have a lot of time.
> As I would categorize myself as being in the 'perfectionist' category I found it really hard for quite some time (years) to work experimentally like this.
Honestly, I think all great programmers are in that category. The bad ones start businesses and then hire great programmers to fix their shitty code.
