Comment on Ask HN: Publish old projects even though the source code embarrasses you by now?

Comments

I tend to put anything other there that I consider interesting for others to see, or something that I might want to share with others. For example - ways to to abuse a type system, or how to do something weird like embedding Elm within React. The truth is that if you put out a lot of code, very few people will see any of it, unless you intentionally and directly share with them. If you're applying for a job, chose your favourite repos and send them over. If you want to avoid any form of judgement, just put a disclaimer in the readme. When it comes to games - there will never be enough open source games out there. Being able to see how something done, however hacky, will be great for hobby game programmers.
