Not sharing my code because:
Not sharing my code out of I don’t want to maintain that shit
This reminded me of a broken promise of mine from long ago.
I made the same promise and have yet to deliver due to shame. But also because I get enough hassle from users without the source code and I don’t have time to handle everything that will come up when they have the code.
on the flip side you can potentially play the “feel free to submit a PR” card when they have the code
Sharing ur code except it’s by uploading an audiobook of u reading it out loud on Amazon
Back when cassette tapes were common to store data you could actually get programs through the radio.
It’s not even shame. There are two kinds of software developer. Those that just appreciate everyone else doing the same as them. And those that will not tolerate anyone:
- Not using the same language as they do
- Not using the same source control as they do
- Need to tell you that you shouldn’t do the things they don’t do because they’re wrong
Not sharing code is usually just to avoid the latter type, who will appear and seemingly have a lot of time to check every line of code you’ve ever produced :P
Not sharing your source code because you lost it and only have the EXE now.
Not sharing your code for job security
Not sharing my code because I can’t even read my handwriting.
Lol. That’s me!
Bespoke: not sharing your source code because you don’t want to provide free labor to megacorps.
