I'm also a dev. I do upload my work other than my day job work since it's my employers copyright not mine. You can check out my GitHub which is the same as my username here.

Regardless though, libraries have existed for decades in the real world - but suddenly in a digital form it's some unimaginable and unforgivable thing? Give me a break.
