what's better left unshared?

Anything where the liability clause of the MIT license is meaningful beyond protection against litigation trolls, because if you need it, it means that you simply are a liability.

Exceptions to that:

  1. Clearly marked experimental / immature software
  2. Repos with good process or at the very least many eyes, independent audits help too
  3. Novel primitives, but those should generally fall under (1)

For example, I like what @m0wer did with #1546237 the other day. I'm not nearly done with analyzing it (so this isn't a recommendation, yet) but what is good about it is the supporting framework: it is extensive and thoughtful and there is a lot of process around provisioning there. If half the ecosystem would do half the effort of what was done there, my days would be a lot less frustrating.

I think we need to find a better way to do collaborations

I really, really should go check out Block's Buzz thingy, because that feels like it provides a way to do on-topic collaboration without (premature) publication.

FOSS is important to preserve sovereignty.

It's important to make/keep sovereignty attainable, agreed.
