Count me as one of them. My coding style suits me, but I know it's not for everyone. There's always a balance between writing elegant code, and throwing in a bunch poorly optimised conditional statements just because you are having a bad day and you just want that part of the app/game/whatever to JUST work properly after 5 solid hours of trying to debug it.. Going open source is like letting someone walk around inside your brain; If you are not thick skinned enough it's going to hurt, a lot. I tried it once, and admittedly I was a much worse coder than I am now - it was my first big personal project (a MUD server) and I basically levelled up my coding skills from 'tinkerer' to 'semi-expert' over the years I was I writing it. When I finally open-sourced it (due to pressure from the community) several people tore it apart, and basically told me I was a shit programmer. And that's why I don't do Open Source. |
