With LLM’s now, odds are, they’ll just copy pasta that code. Yours may be similar but if you slap a license on it, most people respect that and will adhere to it.
That said, fear of someone stealing your code is completely unfounded as there isn’t really anything novel we produce anymore. If you are on the bleeding edge, you welcome input and PR’s from others to make it better. Only wise men know they know nothing. Collectively, we can build some amazing software.
Now, if you’re trying to build a business off of your software, you may want to keep that to yourself and not share it. If your business isn’t the software but your service, there’s no harm.
"there isn’t really anything novel we produce anymore."
Sorry for the somewhat snide comment but not with that attitude.... I know, end of history and all but it's not like we ran out of problems to solve, we maybe just don't bother solving them anymore. But we should!
Of course, there’s still problems to solve. Odds are you’ll use a pattern that’s been used before is all I’m saying.
