I have to disagree, I have learned from a lot of n00bs. I copied broken code and it didn't work, but it provided enough hints that I was able to make it work. I also posted back fixed code as comments on authors' blogs, and many would update their post with my code. Same thing has happened on my blog, I have some super old Pentaho configuration posts, and every once in a while I get an email from someone saying my code is not right but they were able to make it work with some changes. Hence, I leave it up there.
