Agreed, this goes hand in hand with the whole "artists ship" thing pg wrote about. If you're too caught up in the perfection of something start slicing of limbs of it until it's releasable and go from there.
- cottsak 18y agoi like your "limbs" idea. of course programmers get frightened by 'finishing' in ryanwaggoner's context. we know what it's like to want perfect. i'm only just learning how to slice and chop my projects into pieces... find what i hav to do as bare minimum to make the software 'useful' and put the big black period there. work in very small iterations - 2 week-mini projects. set good but minimum goals. have a "later list" so you can stop coding that next great idea u think of. ..and after you 'finish' each mini project. hav a beer. i loved this article.
