Who among us hasn't written code then almost immediately forgotten everything about it? It's entirely possible he wrote the library then promptly erased it from his mind to make room for more important things, like pizza, or ruminations on whether he needs to buy new underwear or if he can just sew the holes up.
I wrote a library. It was only used at my company, though, but I probably should have tried to share it. In 5 years, I had only a handful of questions because I documented the crap out of it and made it extremely useful. I only did one minor version update to make it compatible with a new CMS.
It stands as the best code I've ever written. None of the rest of my stuff is that well documented, lol.
I left and handed it off to someone else. He loves it!
The best part is that I wrote it on my own time because it filled a gap that annoyed the hell out of me and that needed standardization. It wasn't even directly related to what I was working on.
Oh, the good old days when I was still passionate.
