How to build a dynamic picklist

I am looking to build a dynamic picklist where users can add a field when they click the "Other" option instead of the admin going back to set the picklist values.

You can set a picklist field to be "unrestricted" which means it will accept any String value you wish to shove into it... do this on the Field Creation / Edit page:

You (of course) may need to write your own interface / technique to let uses put any value in here - maybe some Visualforce; or if you are loading data via an API, this will then allow any value to be put in.

You can't do this if it is backed by a "Global Picklist Value Set" though, it has to have it's own.

New to using visualforce, what would that look like?
