That is part of the reason why I blog myself. I think that if I am going to grow into the programmer that I want to be, I need to be honest and open about what I am doing, and have the courage to let people know what I do and do not know. I think there is real value in this. I get more from posts that deal with real struggles than I do with the "do this, do that" type of post. When I read about so-and-so over here who is also having trouble adopting BDD, I relate to that, and then I automatically get a peer that I can share info with. Am I getting to Zen-y here?

You have to respect people who publish their work for everyone to critique. It takes courage and, I think, this scrutiny results in higher quality end results.
