That is the weird thing about github though. On the one hand you have big important apps there such as Linux and Rails which have quality standards and where developers at large should take a look and make their voices known if they can find things that suck.
The argument I guess is, at what point does it become fair game for criticism?
OTOH it is also a place for your crappy bash scripts.
I've got plenty of hacky scripts that I would consider putting on github, just as a backup as much as anything else. I honestly wouldn't care what criticism they got, though criticism with accompanying pull requests would be vastly superior.
My main hesitation though would be if a prospective employer goes and looks through it and goes "oh, this guy's code sucks".
- chewxy 14y agoWhich is why I put my shitty scripts in gist (in fact I am such a shitty programmer, I practically have an empty github public profile), I share them in my blog, and last week, I was actually horrified that someone used my shitty scripts and shitty methods that I outlined in my blog (http://blog.chewxy.com/2012/11/16/random-documents-from-couchdb/ http://blog.chewxy.com/2012/11/16/random-documents-from-couc...), I removed my gist. I don't want people to use my shitty methods or shitty code, I just want somewhere to put my thoughts.
