My code is so ugly, I am afraid to put it on GitHub

June 19, 2020


What you are afraid to put on GitHub,

they probably have in production*. 😂

Look, you have to start somewhere.

When in doubt,
make your code public.

It will raise your standards.

It will show your “dedication to improvement”.

It will make you confident in what you know.

And, feel free to look at my GitHub. 🙈

Good luck finding ‘perfect’ code there.




Stay cool,

P.S. As developers, we do our best to ship functional, clean, bug-free code.
Yet time constraints, fuzzy requirements, and all kinds of factors contribute to exactly the opposite.
