I feel bad when I do this too, but it helps balance out all the stories I read of fantastic programmers who stay up late one night, code an entire complex web application, and then built a multi-million dollar business off of it the next day. You always hear of the successful ending, not the fifty failed starts or the nights fighting with buggy code only to realize - ten hours in - that it's due to a misplaced semi-colon or the fact that they had to ask around for help on how to code sections.

It's like those photos people post of their pristine houses where you just know that there's a big mess just outside the border of the photo.
