Can you try getting someone on this message thread?
CanâtâŚI donât work for Glitch, Iâm just a user on here. You have quite a bit of code there, and I can tell a lot that you have probably copied and donât understand (and hey, neither do i).
Honestly - this is my opinion. Especially if youâre a student or early in your development work, itâs really not worth you going to this much trouble to privatizing your work. Because it wonât ultimately matter much if someone steals it. It only really matters when someone has a new idea about a product that hasnât been done before. At that point, you want credit for the idea because itâs going to make you money.
Letâs say you post your work publicly, with a license, and someone takes it and also puts it up. Well, you still have your copy. And ultimately, thereâs no way to prove that you didnât steal it from someone else, because we can always erase our git histories and do a new âinitial commit.â Employers are going to test you, cross check your references, and put you through the same thing they do everyone else. Theyâll still be skeptical until you prove yourself.
So yes, ownership is important and everyone should get credit for things they do, but itâs all so hard to prove we throw licenses on our stuff and just hope for the best. I know you just got blackmailed and that feels like a blow, so youâre looking for some control now. But hopefully that makes sense, and your disappointment will pass too. Most people out there are alright and donât steal work.
I guess thatâs true for now, but I think there is a broader motivation to deprecate them entirely. I believe Google (or at least some of the folks there) think that using a dialog is a better option. Which I agree with. But there is a lack of support now in all browsers. I think they will eventually be fully deprecated.
