The worst part is we often can't share our artistic work with future employers due to IP concerns.
On the other hand, open source culture is vastly different from proprietary culture.
So many times in proprietary culture I've churned out craptastic code to meet a deadline that didn't matter for a project whose customers were straw-persons. There's definitely some projects or features I've coded which I'm glad to hide from public view.
That said, artists can curate their portfolio, and unless they're presenting to a public forum, their turds won't have to see the light of day again.
