Asshole take: if you share your project online but not the source code I immediately think your code sucks.
Let’s be real your clone project is not something a venture capitalist is going to invest in, there’s literally no reason to hide it but shame. Shame of sinful and bad code.
This applies to any project, really. At my workplace, if someone refuses to let other teams look under the hood of a product, 95% of the time, it’s because their code is absolute garbage, but their leaders didn’t want to wait so they pushed it to prod and now it’s up to some junior employee to fix all the shit that blows up in prod.
And just for closure, 5% of the time, it’s because there actually is no product at all.

Every proprietary software I touch makes me feel like it’s gooey and sticky and ewwww
you should seek professional help then
Mee too then 😥
it’s never too late
For certain projects I monetize, there are reasons I don’t share the code.
Patents don’t magically find people infringing your intellectual property. The owness is on you.
That being said, I have bills to pay, and mouths to feed. Giving my solutions away for free, doesn’t help those issues.
