One of the many things I find inspiring about Julia is how quick she is to admit to mistakes she has made or things that she hasn't understood.
Agreed. I think 90%+ of the complaints people have about technical blog posts would go away if authors were more willing to admit what their blog post is really for and what their limitations are.
Writing an "Ultimate Guide to X" as a learning experience is fine if you admit that (and, ideally, use a more humble title) but pretending to be a long time expert in framing when someone isn't leads to problems and a poor reputation. You, too, are fantastic at framing your content properly, and have a great reputation amongst people I know for it.
