`Tell me what I should do in order to keep strong feelings towards {{% wikipedia article="C (programming language)" %}}.`

Permit me to babble out a few random thoughts ...

Write programs for other people.

Where possible, openly publish your code, perhaps on your web site. The
{{% wikipedia article="Freshmeat" %}} site is a good place to announce new code. (It is a
strange web site name, but they are legit and THE place to announce new code).
Support the code that you publish.  Start small and work your way up ... Some of
my more popular code is actually small code fragments that are used by others
over and over again.  Don't be discouraged if nobody (or if only a few people)
uses some of your early programs. What is important is to practice writing
quality, well commented code ... to maintain and fix that code.

I found this really useful and inspirational once again.
