Give yourself permission. I have a GitHub repo called "junkcode" for this very purpose - sometimes projects are promoted out of there, sometimes not.

I like that idea a whole lot. I tend to just throw stuff on GitHub. Some is prototypal. Some is polished. Some is just terrible in every way. Your approach seems better, and is aptly named.

I can't take credit for it - the idea came from Andrew Tridgell - https://github.com/tridge/junkcode

That's a pretty good idea, actually. Sometimes I throw a repo up to play, but take it down out of insecurity...
