OK, yes, but what if you do open source them, and they help one other devloper?

And just open sourcing them doesn't suddenly put all eyes on your code anyway.

I suppose you make a point, I'm not sure how my school would feel about me open sourcing my project code though ๐Ÿ˜…

Once I have more time for Personal projects I plan to open source everything.

My school made open source a requirement. The funny part was having to argue with the people we were developing this for about opening the source. They were planning to make it a commercial app and were concerned that this would hamstring their monetisation.

One of them also somehow expected an app developed by students to have innovative value that would need to be kept closed source because otherwise people would steal it. In particular, he threw out the idea that he was hoping to eventually include an AI โ€“ long before the LLM hype โ€“ to help people, and that would obvioisly be such a technical achievement that it needed to be protected.

I needed the project, otherwise I'd have told him in no uncertain terms why I think leaving people alone with an AI assistant instead of forcing them to consult a specialist is a really dumb idea in healthcare.
