    There's a difference between releasing code on a forum and releasing a project with the source available to those who care. Even for large open source projects with many users and potential developers looking at the code, "I think your code has flaws X and Y" type reactions seem to be rare. Commented Nov 13, 2011 at 21:29

    From the description, the criticism you got that time a few years ago made you a better programmer. So why are you so afraid of criticism this time? Do you feel like you don't need to become a better programmer any more? If you want to get better, you've got to put your ego aside and take a few knocks. Commented Nov 13, 2011 at 22:11

    The cool thing about open sourcing is that, if people complain, you can always just ask them to fix the issues for you. Commented Nov 14, 2011 at 0:56

    BTW if embarrasement was an issue, we would never had projects like Wordpress or Joomla... More than half the blogs out there are on WP, noone seems to care for the quality of the codebase... Commented Nov 14, 2011 at 4:50
