  Funny you should mention shame. I used to feel it about my code. Then I realized everyone else's code was probably just as ugly from their own point of view. We coders tend to be perfectionists. Then I met _why. Then I (almost) stopped caring about code beauty and (completely) moved my focus to code that just plain works. Funny thing is, my code is much better looking these days. Mostly. But you were probably mentioning shame in the context of not having the projects finished. Felt that too. But that's the great thing about github; it's completely natural for code hosted there to be works in progress. All in all, what I'm saying is that making your code public just plain ends the shame and the feelings of inadequacy, much like looking at spiders and learning about them helps with arachnophobia. It's a shock therapy of sorts.

    //All in all, what I'm saying is that making your code public just plain ends the shame and the feelings of inadequacy. Well i would say yes and no. I get your point, in the sense that to me just getting something working(even one line change) and committing to github is a sure serotonin releaser. //But you were probably mentioning shame in the context of not having the projects finished. Felt that too. perhaps shame is too strong a word for this feeling, but it does give me a reason to go back and complete the old projects, rather than reading around here/ learning the current(popular) shiny new language(node/ coffescript/etc..)
