Tell HN: Looking back and seeing improvements can really make your day
My cofounder and I started building our first iphone project about 8 weeks ago with no prior experience in objective C or photoshop. Our goal was 10 weeks (following Y combinator's model). Even though we gave ourselves 10 weeks, we really wanted to attend TCDisrupt in SF and it was a letdown and discouraging when we couldn't make the deadline.
Starting to feel stressed and a little burned out, I looked back 8 weeks ago. It's those moments when you look back and realize how much you've improved can really make your day.
Just thought I'd share and hope I could make someone else's day as well. Give yourselves a pat on the back because we're constantly furthering ourselves just by being part of the startup community.
