How To Roll Your Own: experiences and observations of creating your own development tools

Jan is a very gifted speaker, it was obvious he was confident and that he knew what he was talking about. The talk had a nice rhytm and was interesting. It was very clear to me "why" it would be useful to make your own package, however I would have liked -especially for a technical audience in a PHP meetup - some more technical and implementation details from the talk as to "how" one should go about starting to create their own packages. eg. The how to start your own section could be more interesting to me if you added some code snippets, or some examples of best practices. The talk certainly piqued my interest and i will certainly do some extra reading on the subject.
