Ahhh, so true.
It's like that whiny voice you get in your head when you're trying to work with a poorly documented API, and you get blocked trying to figure out how to do something. Then you get that after-lunch caffeine shot, or whatever, and you realise - 'hey, I could, you know, just try a few things, see how the framework responds', and you have a prototype up and running in 5 mins...
I encounter the same problem when trying to write fiction - total Writer's Block, because you are worried about the fact that what you are writing is crap. Yes, it probably is crap, but don't worry too much, it's easier to edit crap into something good than it is to write something good from scratch.
I just wish that I had a reliable way of getting myself hit over the head with a piece of 4x2 each time I block like that, when writing or programming, rather than wasting unproductive, frustrating hours staring at a blank screen...
