I'd be in the 2nd category.

Most of my programs I don't upload because there's no point since there are probably about 100 other programs already that do the same thing.

I like making program that are useful is someway or another. So when I upload them I know that they will most likely be used. However I test them before they hit the net.

oops me bad... I meant to add 80% - 100% before all the talking and super fast typing

Same here.

Its not that I don't make a lot of programs (a computer scientist writes endless numbers of them), its just that they end up being for PC architectures, or if its for machine architorture, IA32. I just never get around to the conversions.

I upload about 60-80% of my programs. I have about 30% of programs that help me on my big programs. ie, AOE, my RPG sword master, and windows. I dont make silly programs like SOME people do. I make programs to either help myself on my newest program or to help others like on math tests.

I picked 0-20% because the large majority of my programs are never published. Most of them are just little helper apps written to assist my other programs; however, there are a few very useful ones I've never published.

I'm very picky about what I upload, in fact, Music Station was on my website for over 6 months before I uploaded it.

As far as developments, my "projects" folder has about 34 different folders in it, 5 of which I have actually released. On the other hand, I keep all those dead projects because I reuse the code a lot, and so in a way, I release all of my software in portions.
