My suggestion: don't bother cleaning it up, just publish it. If the two realistic options are your code dropping off the face of the earth because it's never published, or it being put in a place where someone might find it useful and run with it, the latter is far more beneficial to society.
If you're concerned about your personal reputation (which in my experience tends to be the case) then consider you're likely better off as a prolific coder than a sparse one, and if anything we should be pushing the industry towards more open exchange of code so as to reduce loss & waste.

- driverdan 15y agoBy clean it up I mean make it work again. It was built on an older version of Node and doesn't work with API changes made since then. What you say is true though. I'll set a deadline to fix it by. If it isn't done by then I'll just put it up. My code is always perfect in every way so I'm not worried about reputation. /sarcasm
