In my current role I find myself writing code less and less, though I do enjoy the new opportunities that I have to help define the technical direction of my company. When I do start to get the "itch" for some hands-on work, I'll take some personal time to work on side projects to keep my skills sharp. Recently, I've written and <a href="http://trac.extendviget.com/lab/" rel="nofollow">released</a> a couple Rails plugins (caches_constants / validates_url) to scratch that itch. The concept of the caches_constants plugin should be featured in the upcoming <a href="http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/fr_arr/index.html" rel="nofollow">Advanced Rails Recipes</a> book.
