"Although I am rather introverted, I somehow have a need to communicate."

I can identify with this.

"My blog legitimizes that I spend so many hours developing the software behind it."

Haha! Ain't that the truth.

I'll be the first to admit that the code for /reader (and most of (b)log-In) is actually quite a mess

Some people 'talk to think' – they open their mouths and form their opinions as they talk through things, finally arriving at an answer.

That's what I'm like coding something. I won't have a plan as such, just a starting point and a rough direction. As I start to code the ideas about what to do next begin to manifest based on what I'm doing. I go from A to B to C without knowing that C was ever an option, it just becomes one as things develop.

Each feature and function leads the way to the next, and the next – because of this, that can/should/must happen. And because of this the code, is a mess as each piece is added, tacked on with the digital equivalent of sticky tape and bubblegum.

It could all fall apart at any moment!
