When you hear us talking about how fast we can move, we neglect to point out the years of moving slow that got us to this point. I have 10 years worth of C# and Javascript libraries that I've written to handle just about any situation I can come across, as well as a home-built data framework that's more powerful than Rails, and an automated build & deploy setup that can get a new project up in minutes. These are the reasons why I can crank out a new database driven site in a matter of hours. No matter what it is, it's mostly already built. So my advice would be to simply do your job and put in the time. Pay attention to the things that slow you down and write libraries that speed those things back up. Build yourself a set of tools and constantly improve them. Five years from now, you can crank out a one-day clone of whatever flavor-of-the-month billion dollar site is popular at the time, and everybody will thing you're a genius.
