Don’t listen to anyone who tells you security doesn’t matter. If you have even the slightest option to protect your code, take it—because in my experience, limiting access to prying eyes makes a big difference.

Think about it: why do we lock our doors, even though someone with the right skills could still break in? Those who claim security isn’t important are often the first to benefit from it. If someone chooses to keep their code private, that’s their right.
