I open source pretty much everything I work on that is close to finished or finished. Never regretted doing it, but never got anything out of doing it either, aside from the feeling of paying forward.

I guess it really depends on how popular your project gets. I have no idea if my stuff is used or not[1], so regretting is maybe kinda hard?

I’ll keep doing it, though. Might regret it at some point, but I get so much value out of open source, it feels wrong not to.

[1]: Judging by the lack of patches I’d guess my work isn’t used, though.
