    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
