This is true even for my personal projects lol

I'm not a programmer but dabble. I'm always so nervous when actual programmers look at my code.

True programmers know that novice code is a rite of passage. Every programmer worth their salt looks at their own older code and cringes at it. Most people who do this for a living are more likely to give helpful pointers rather than tear you down, if anything.

If someone is being a jerk to you about your code, stop listening to them immediately and walk away or block them.
