It's easy. Until your code is good, no one gives a damn about it. Even if it's good, you'll still have to shove it down people's throats before they care. So don't worry that "someone might see your bad code". They won't. Nobody cares.

If I think about it all the time I talk about it every chance I get, ask for help, comments, feedback. It's easier to ask for help if the thing you want them to help you with is a click away. So make it public.
