“Before I will release the code as open-source, I need to clean it up some more”

Very recognizable. I often write somewhat decently abstracted code for a client problem. The quality requirements for this stuff aren&#x27;t very high so it&#x27;s not &#x27;open source quality,&#x27; and I definitely don&#x27;t want it to be judged as my &#x27;digital resumé.&#x27;<p>If I were to publish it it would still definitely make someone happy at some point in time though.<p>I&#x27;ve been thinking of creating the a manifesto for those cases: <i>CRAP: Code Rushed for an Actual Problem</i>. That way you could include it in your README and let the world know it&#x27;s just a throwaway piece of code that might be useful to someone someday.
