Founder here of a few startups. Was a total hackasaurus, and very similar to you in the quality. I then decided to build a new product with some friends. Changed it all! I had to start from scratch and build the whole stack. Lots of headaches, but learned so much. I didn’t use search to find the solutions, I did try to figure most of it out myself. Yes, you will be slower, but you will learn so much in the end. I think a lot of the issue is around existing content on the web or using pieces of some else’s code. Think of an idea, doesn’t have to be new, and dive deep. I love paper too, draw out your thoughts and ideas.
