Ask HN: What's holding your project up?
What's delaying delivery, execution, go live, etc...
- futurist 13y agoI've made three pivots already, and I haven't even launched yet. Last night after finalizing the logo (paying the graphic designer) and starting on the website design, a better name that would be easier to brand suddenly came to mind. The concept is being overhauled yet again.

- japhyr 13y agoThis weekend: potty-training my kid. :) Side projects definitely take a back seat when you start being a parent, but my motivation and efficiency when I can make time have grown in proportion. I think I'm going to be unstoppable in my projects as my kid gains independence, and I get some real side-project time back. But no rush, I'm loving every stage of parenting while it lasts!
- arthurst 13y agoThis is what it's like hiring a developer: Me: "I need an omlette for breakfast tomorrow morning" Developer: "Tomorrow is too soon. That's not enough time to raise a chicken." Me: "I don't want you to raise the chicken and make the eggs yourself. Just go to the store and buy eggs." Developer: "I can't do that. That's not the proper way to get eggs. We have to do it the complicated way, so that I can feel like I'm an elite programmer."
- krapp 13y agoYes, I can't stand it when developers want to do things properly, either.
- krapp 13y agoTurns out it's way more complicated than I anticipated.
