not just non-programmers. It's a common problem with jr programmers and good programmer internships (for example) make it a point of forcing the interns to expose themselves ASAP to get over it.

I think if everyone goes into it knowing that it'll be part of what they publish it would be less of an issue.

I mean, unless you're all a bunch of freaks who have instructed your LLM to cosplay as Slave Leia and can't work otherwise, in which case your issues are beyond my pay grade. :P
