Ask HN: Should I make a project open-source being a non-expert developer? I'm going to start a project developing an app for a charity organization for free. I'm currently studying computer engineering and I doesn't consider me as a professional developer right now. I would like to make the project open source, but I aware that maybe I could make a security mistake and put the private data of the organization at risk. It would be easiest to find security vulnerabilities if my app is open source. What do you think about it? |
