You're right. My biggest issue with shipping is perfectionism.
I guess I should lower my standards a little and just allow myself to look a little foolish just to keep progressing. I'm not Mark Zuckerberg, there is nothing wrong with that.
- trcollinson 9y agoOne thing to keep in mind is you should not compare yourself to what Mark Zuckerberg is right now. You're at the beginning of a path and he is much further along. When you boil down Facebook to what it was originally when he shipped it was a rather good idea, written as a crud app in php, and looked like this: https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/shrinknp_800_800/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAgvAAAAJGI3ZmFmZjcwLTdkMjUtNDkyYi1hNjU3LTM1OWY3NzE5ZDUzMA.png https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/shrinknp_800_800/AAEAAQAAAAA... Ship, learn, iterate.
- good_vibes 9y agoYeah, you're right. Happiness = Reality - Expectations. I should put a LOT less pressure on myself and just focus on the process. Reading through this thread tells me I need to adjust some of my underlying beliefs about intrinsic/extrinsic motivation.
