i 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.
