and yes, this is exactly the kind of thing i'd love to see more of in dw_dev_training. one of the things we most try to demystify is the notion that there are Programmers and Non-Programmers, and if you're a Programmer you spring forth fully able to do all this sort of stuff without thinking twice, and if you're a Non-Programmer you'll never learn it. i love seeing posts that go into people's problem-solving thought processes with all the dead ends included, people's total cock-ups, people's "i am going to throw this laptop out the window" frustrations, etc, because it really reinforces the idea that nobody is born knowing this kind of thing!
which reminds me, next time i patch a bug, i should do a walkthrough. i sometimes think i exist to prove that just because your name's on the incorporation paperwork doesn't mean you know what you're doing. ;)
but yes, liv, please do post this to dw_dev_training if you're willing! hearing multiple voices sharing their frustrations and imperfections and giving-up-in-horror moments is definitely a great club to beat down the impostor syndrome with.
