it can actually be good to put a deadline on the development. But as this article wisely points out, you should not expect for your work to be done once your have a released or release-able product. In many ways, you're just getting started. As an aside, I think it's best to not be intimidated by what other people say they can do in a certain period of time. Different people take different amounts of time to get things done, based on what tools and techniques they have in their bag of tricks, and how long they've been working on a given problem domain. If someone brags that they did some awesome app in 7 days, but it would take you 20 or 40, just don't worry about it. It's not relevant for most discussions, and it's easy to get distracted by such things when evaluating ideas or products.
