Should I open source something while it's a mess, or should I wait until it's in better shape? What do you do personally? Do you worry about people judging you for a messy project? I'm really interested in the Fosstodon community's perspective on this.
I'm sitting on a project where I was hacking a bunch of things together, learning new things (like #nix) and more.
@someodd I think a project is like your house. When you invite someone into it, you don't want them to see a mess, you clean it up first, so they can feel at home for the evening.
So I don't worry about other people judging my code. I just think it's good manners to keep it tidy.
