After finding a mistake in a paper, having to fix it, and then publishing my code, I’ve found other people contact me for the fix rather than the author of the paper. I would recommend publishing the code rather than assuming your paper is bug free and complete.
Similarly, I’ve found papers that don’t include their complete data set in the paper, and had to try to reverse engineer it from images and so on. It is really frustrating when papers are incomplete.
