I've build http://mockrest.com/ http://mockrest.com/ last week and even did a Show HN at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14537247 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14537247.
I've built many things before but why am I proud of this one specifically? Basically because I've built it with no expectations what-so-ever if this thing will ever be needed by someone else but me. Also, I've built it fast (less than 1 week), polished it a bit, and released it as soon as it was working ok-ish..
And why am I proud of being able to build it although it is not complete? Because I used to deal with perfection for so long that I had to force myself to release anything at all. In fact, it used to be very hard for me to even start doing anything for myself, as I would have analysis-paralysis. For quite some time I had to force myself to think "when good is good enough", read a lot of things about that subject, read other people opinions on these things, etc. etc. etc. After figthing with my own perfectionism, it seems that I finally can do things having lower expectations.. That's why I'm proud..
