Your last point is a good one, but if the person we're talking about doesn't complete projects what's the point of blowing a trumpet about it? Not disagreeing

Not disagreeing with you, just offering another perspective. Like I said, I think the truth is somewhere in the middle and is probably a bit more complex.
FTA I linked:
> Four different tests of 63 people found that those who kept their intentions private were more likely to achieve them than those who made them public and were acknowledged by others. [...] Once you've told people of your intentions, it gives you a "premature sense of completeness."
- xur17 13y agoMarketing is a large part of the success of a side project, so while keeping your intentions private may make you more likely to complete your side projects, it's not as likely to make them 'successful' and get you users. Like you said, the trick is probably somewhere in between.
