Cutting myself off and just shipping it. It can’t be understated how important it is to cut your own scope and get something useful out there. The feedback and validation you get will keep you going or force you to pivot to something else. This runs counter to the exploratory, learning nature to building something new, but i think it’s possible to balance. For example, for this feature I’m going to noodle on and play with for a while, but for this other feature I’m going to deploy a 0.1 version of it immediately, and then a 0.2 the next week, etc. It’s amazing the half-baked shit I’ve pumped out that someone out there has loved and wanted more of, which in turn motivated me to keep going and improve the experience.
