I would really like to begin posting about software development, but I'm brand new to all of this and don't know if my posts will be welcomed, shunned, or ignored completely.

I really like the idea of learning in the open, but it can feel so daunting and I'm a bit worried that the community will be annoyed or harsh with me for posting about things that I don't yet fully know. I want to post about the problems I'm facing, the solutions I'm coming up with, and the different concepts I'm learning, but I don't know if I can speak with enough authority on these topics yet to do so.

What do you think? When is the best time to begin posting about development? Do devs generally expect writers in these communities to know exactly what they're talking about or is it okay to just go for it and lean on the community for support?
