Your post seems to hide some information in and of itself.

Some secrets shouldn't be revealed until due time. Others, should be out in the open.

It really depends on the impact they could have. Such as a secret of "I hate So-and-so, but don't tell anyone" no, That kind of stuff doesn't need to be outspoken.

Other things, such as ideas, should be given due time. i.e. Team's robots not being revealed until a regional, or a fancy new idea [cough]45's ball drive[/cough] shouldn't need to be outspoken unless the team wants it to be.

I'm going to infer from your "beaten by own auto code" that some other team looked at your auto code, had a suggestion, and didn't tell you. Or something to that effect. If it is true, I think that should be outspoken and told how to fix/help.

Expressing a secret should be done with discretion due to it's possible impact. If it will unneededly upset someone, don't express. If it will be helpful in the long or short term, go for it. If it doesn't matter either way, it doesn't matter if you say it or not.
