::{{tq|1=requiring completed source code ''prior'' to approving projects would be a strong disincentive for future development.}} The "completed" source code isn't being requested. You're free to change the source code any time, including after the approval – only major changes in functionality require a new supplementary BRFA. – [[User:SD0001|<span style="font-weight: bold; color: #C30">SD0001</span>]] ([[User talk:SD0001|talk]]) 17:25, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
:::I guess what's really bugging me about this is trying to understand ''why'' anybody would not want to release the code early. @[[User:Novem Linguae|Novem Linguae]] said a couple of days ago, {{tq|let me get the bot working, then after that I'll take the extra time and effort to spin up git and a GitHub repo}}. To me, it's hard to imagine "git init" not being pretty close to the first thing I type when starting any new project. It's just good software engineering hygiene. And pushing it out to some storage that's more robust than my laptop's hard drive isn't far behind. [[User:RoySmith|RoySmith]] [[User Talk:RoySmith|(talk)]] 18:26, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
