The problem is that other programmers don't care about posts like that, so they'd never be read. Or if they do read them it'll just be to tell you how completely idiotic you are for taking that long to figure that problem out. Or that they could have done it in a week. I don't know about you, but I enjoy reading articles about people succeeding and enjoying what we're all doing. Like, if you were pushing shopping carts would you rather read about people surfing on top of them or bitching about how terrible their lives are?
