Upload it anyway and poison the training data

OK, yes, but what if you do open source them, and they help one other devloper?

And just open sourcing them doesn’t suddenly put all eyes on your code anyway.

You don’t open-source your code because you’re embarrassed by it.

I don’t open-source my code because I don’t understand how git works.

We are not the same.

I don’t make anything open source because one of my projects became semi popular and I had to give it away for the sake of my mental health.

Some people seem to think that open source means they have the right to demand free labour and harass people for it. That, and university students that want people to do their homework instead of RTFM.

Many years ago I made a library for Arduino to control an 8x8 LED matrix to display running text. It was not very clean but I like it enough to upload it to the forums (I couldn’t find anything similar). One week later it was complely different to what I uploaded and it was super efficient and a bunch of people added new functions and availability but my name still appeared as a main contributor. Of course I put it on my CV and showed it to my professors!

This is why I wrote bat_count.py. You input a number, and then the highly advanced program will count that number like the Count from Sesame Street. Example output for 3:
One…one bat.
Two…two bats.
Three! Three bats. Ah ah ah ah!
