You’re welcome. Those are good points and indicate this is likely a trick of personal psychology.

I felt the same way and it prevented me from releasing in the past.

There are a variety of ways to overcome this, but the absolute best is to just release something and find how little sneering happens.

In time you’ll realize that the gatekeeping and holier than thou view toward code can only be expressed by those who release even more.

If they hope to stay in the game, those who do will do provide feedback on your code do so with positivity.

Leaders know it takes teams of talented individuals capable of action to get stuff done. And they know abuse is anti ethical to recruiting talent.

So if it was someone you might want to impress judging your code unworthy, they’ll either offer constructive criticism or say nothing at all.
