Yeah, I’ve been in a bit of a funk. That’s MOSTLY why I haven’t posted lately. The other reason I have (that I’ll admit) is that I have this issue with other people reading my stuff. I mean, I really want to blog. Hell, I wouldn’t mind it simply to have a record of things for MYSELF (screw you guys). But I can’t seem to get over this issue of other people criticizing me.
Actually, that’s not 100% accurate. If people have suggestions, or alterations I can deal with it. But if I post up a solution I’ve found, and people do nothing but point out how wrong I am, that would bug me. Honestly, I don’t know why, I think I have really good ideas. That’s not true, I do have an idea… see I’m 100% self taught. I find a problem, and I figure out a solution. I read a lot about best practices, patterns, etc. And I’m constantly looking for better ways. I do a decent job of reading other peoples ideas, and adapting them to my way of doing things. I’ll admit, my first time through, I’ll copy the code. But that’s only because when I copy it, I learn it. I understand what it’s doing. And then I delete it, and do it my way. That’s why I never copy files into my solution, I read them and write them. I follow what their code does, and then apply it.
Anyway, enough of my drama. I’m actually going to post 2 other blog posts after this about my ideas, so we’ll see how that goes.
Hopefully, if I post more of my ideas, the more I do it, the less scared I’ll get…right? (Agree with me, it’ll help)
