This is an amazing world.
We live in a continuous update of every bit of knowledge and every bit of software. The rule is easy: if you don't get updated, you became out-dated. When talking about developers and techies, everybody seemed to see how fast our jobs changes and how fast we should go forward to keep our knowledge and skills up to the emerging technologies; and this has been widely accepted as an intrinsic rule of our devotion to technology. As a global technological community, we have evolved and created new ways of communication that help us in our furious path to technical improvement. We have such a degree of integration, communication and distribution of ideas that everything is even faster than a couple of years ago. We don't even have time to spend observing and analyzing the ideas we develop during our learning path.
Personally, while reading and browsing the net I end up with a lot of new ideas of products, tools, services and a wide range of experiments that I would like to work on. Maybe each of these experiments is just a way to learn a new technology, or maybe a new tool that I though it can be useful to the community. After a brief selection, I choose a couple of the ideas and start working on them, developing the architecture, the goal of each experiment. And finally, I release it. It's a long process; I have to work everyday; I have a personal live to attend; I don't have enough free time to spend on those ideas, but I definitely put a lot of effort on them to accomplish the goal.
As a direct effect of the evolution in our ways of communication (blogs, wikis and the whole internet itself) I continuously see how a lot of ideas are developed by third parties; lot of them ideas I already thought about. The problem is not related to any kind of creative or intellectual property issues, of course; it’s related to time, the free time developers spend on personal projects, and how those projects get obsolete in a matter second.
So my questions are quite simple…
How much time do developers have to spend in an idea before it gets obsolete and all the time becomes wasted time? Should we create a personal iterative process for building projects from our ideas? Or should we directly share our ideas and start community based projects to increase the succeed probability?

Debería existir una ley como la de Moore, que reflejará en función de la tecnología, su complejidad, y las herramientas disponibles el tiempo que esta tardará en quedar obsoleta.
De esta forma bastaría un simple cálculo para ver si es rentable ese tiempo. Por desgracia no disponemos de esa formula mágica, y eso es lo que nos lleva a asumir el riesgo de terminar nuestra tarea antes de que quede obsoleta.
Si lo asumimos y nuestro tiempo y esfuerzo, se completa con éxito y ese éxito es a su vez una innovación, inherentemente hemos dejado algo obsoleto. Y el tiempo empleado por nosotros en muchos casos es tiempo perdido para otros que trabajan en la misma dirección.
Tengo reciente la lectura del libro de Pekka Himanen (La ética del hacker) y pienso que ese riesgo puede en muchos casos puede ser “el deseo de crear algo que la comunidad formada por nuestros iguales consideren valioso”.
El modelo de trabajo en comunidad, “muy usado” en “proyectos de software libre”; en el mundo empresarial lo llaman un “proyecto de equipo”, siempre incrementará las probabilidades de éxito de cualquier proyecto ya que el empleo de más recursos es un exponente dentro de la ecuación.
El tiempo, (también habla Pekka de ello en el libro) que te voy ha contar, es como el impuesto que pagamos.
En cuanto al proceso creativo, en mi caso, puedo decirte que llevo las ideas en la cabeza, papeles, notas, apuntes y que no suelo codificar nada, nada asta que lo tengo todo bien atado y pensado y por lo general cuando me dispongo hacerlo, comienzo por aquellas partes que pueden ser más problemáticas, más débiles (si las hay), dejando todo lo superfluo para el final, con el fin de que si no logro un éxito por lo menos no pierda el tiempo.

Habiendo razón en que la creación en comunidad redunda en más probabilidades de éxito por el aumento de recursos, la compartición de ideas y la eliminación de competencia por fusión, creo que no es deseable una comunidad de desarrollo "abierta y libre" en todos los casos.
Nos estamos haciendo la competencia unos a otros queriendo acaparar la autoría de nuevas ideas, productos o tecnologías. Y si unimos fuerzas, bien sea que se avanza más en el desarrollo del proyecto, lo cierto es que la eliminamos.
Esto parece llevar a que la búsqueda de una retribución monetaria por nuestro trabajo pasa a un segundo plano. ¿Cómo cuantificamos entonces en la sociedad nuestro nivel de éxito?
