Someone should make a site where user's share pieces of code and explain why it's awesome. Allow people to comment etc. I want to read more code, but don't have to time to go find it.
I started work on it straight after I read your comment... With some luck I should have a minimal version finished by this afternoon. I'll post a link here as a response!
I've never got into thinking what features the site should or should not have, for example: comments? forum-like interface? code-wiki so people can improve the submission? user submitted code? editor reviewed, crowd votting? tags to classify code? tales of adoption in production?
Two of my friends are working on a "am I hot or not" for code that (AFAIK) has features like this. The url is http://codesmackdown.com/ but there is nothing there yet. Hopefully me posting this on-line will get them to get off their ass and release something.
Yeh, myself and another guy are writing a 'codesmackdown' site (source code here: http://bitbucket.org/OJ/codesmackdown ) as a side-project, not as a money-maker, entirely for fun. Life keeps getting in the way though.
So far the only good thing to come out of this project is that I wrote a cheatsheet for mercurial, as I'm a noob and keen to help other noobs ;-)
