Open-sourcing code is real work, or you're dumping garbage on people
Quote
it doesn't have to get very big before you run into a lot of work to make something that's ready to open source, you have to go through there and make sure that everything's documented correctly. Otherwise, you're just dumping a bunch of garbage on people.

Summary
Companies can spend months with a dedicated team preparing a large codebase for release. Even a modest project quickly needs documentation and comments, a line-by-line pass for static passwords and sensitive configuration, and cleanup of leftover TODO markers. Nobody will read 100,000 undocumented lines.
