Ask HN: How do I overcome feeling my code will be scrutinized?

I began coding in highschool in 2001 and I did all of my learning through books. A few years later, I use to post small projects on public forums. A lot of the more experienced developers at the time complete put me down for my poor programming practices and lack of knowledge and I developed this fobia of having other developers look at my work. Over the last 15 years, this has had a...

Other times you'll pay through the teeth...

Ask HN: Show me the money – outside of Silicon Valley

Over the course of my career, I've bounced back and forth between being a programmer(did not find it satisfying professionally so now I work on hobby projects) and being sys-admin.
