    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

    I make all my sucky code public because I’ve never seen a codebase that doesn’t suck in some way

    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.

      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…
