Half the time it’s because it’s FOSS with a proprietary skin over it.
On the other side there’s people that genuinely use that as an excuse and say “they’ll open source after they cleaned up the code”. Why they couldn’t clean it up in the clear is beyond me, no one will shame you for your code, just sharing it under a free license is admirable in and of itself
Plenty of people will
Will what? I’m confused
They will shame you, for your messy code. People suck sometimes.
Those people are assholes and aren’t worth your consideration.
That’s awful, I guess I should consider myself lucky that nobody looks at my repositories then. But still, if someone does they’re the assholes, you shouldn’t feel bad about it, you should actually tell them to fix it themselves if they’re so good
You can’t do much worse than vim, so…
I open sourced my code so other people can clean it up *tap head*
Gigabrain, going for the afk grindset
I was watching a YouTuber going over a major revision update for a framework or something and he said “I skipped over the part where I was coding this” nah dude, I wanna see that as well. What did you try and how did it go.
So much weird ego in coding.
Asshole take: if you share your project online but not the source code I immediately think your code sucks.
Let’s be real your clone project is not something a venture capitalist is going to invest in, there’s literally no reason to hide it but shame. Shame of sinful and bad code.
This applies to any project, really. At my workplace, if someone refuses to let other teams look under the hood of a product, 95% of the time, it’s because their code is absolute garbage, but their leaders didn’t want to wait so they pushed it to prod and now it’s up to some junior employee to fix all the shit that blows up in prod.
And just for closure, 5% of the time, it’s because there actually is no product at all.
Every proprietary software I touch makes me feel like it’s gooey and sticky and ewwww
I make all my sucky code public because I’ve never seen a codebase that doesn’t suck in some way
Oh man, I really thought that under the mask was going to be a bunch of open source software.
Specifically OpenBSD. If you browse into the Windows System32 folder you’ll eventually trip over an etc directory… inside you’ll find a file called hosts.
I wonder why…
