This is so true. I become more and more impressed by people who can release _anything_ half decent by themselves. There is so much involved in all the little details, and each of those takes time to develop. Even just trying to provide a nice generic UX experience takes thought and effort. e.g. does pressing enter take the default action, how do I utilize screen real estate to not be cluttered but convey information adequately to new users, how to design multi-user logins for accounts, etc. Lots of skillsets to either have or develop. There are all good ways of doing them, but takes some foresight and insight about how your future users are going to use the product and to look beyond your own assumptions and knowledge of how the system works.
But it is so liberating and you can learn so much more by doing it than by living the unexamined life.
