I've been doing things like this my whole life. It's very easy for anyone to criticize things. You know what's not that easy? Building something the people can

  I agree. I call it “something to throw stones at”.

  There is a difference between criticism and discouragement. The first is incredibly valuable. The problem is that it's very difficult to articulate that difference. This is a failure of language (and social norms), and it has to be recognized by both the speaker and the listener before it can be accommodated.

  Only if you work at a company that values their developers, and sees the value in improving the software. Some companies will say "good enough" and concentrate on other things, like new features, rather than performance or security issues. I'm not saying that's right, just how businesses see development.

  Failure is the first step of success. There was a thread few days ago about it.

    I didn't mean failure per se. My case for instance: I've spent the last year building a house for myself. It was a lot of work. Sure it's easy for some people (my older brother) to come over and say things like "this part here could've been better". Well, of course it could have. But if i were to overthink every single piece of it, I'd still be living in my old apartment.
