Judging by the number of uncompleted projects littering my hard-drive, this idea obviously has a wider application.
I think Mayer's real point is that, unless you finish something, you don't gain the benefit of the experience of completing something, and you can never get to a point where you can judge your results.
In my case, I've switched to using git which encourages me to make lots of small commits, and I'm really making an effort to 'push the big boulders up the hill', just a little at a time. I just have to finish more apps, both because I need the experience, and I need to improve.
You might write shit code, or you might write great code, but unless you finish, your work isn't going anywhere.

- watmough 15y agoHaha, thanks so much! People always say you should write about what you know, and I've spent far too long on the not completing work side of the equation.
- keeptrying 15y agoLOL ... Dont get so down on yourself. Lots of people dont even start stuff on the side. IMHO finishing is more about having the guts to show your project to someone and taking feedback. Quality is always in the eye of the beholder.
