I know how you feel with the belonging. So many smart people around it could really be intimidating. In reality, everyone always _seems_ to be much smarter, happier, and better off than they really are.

Please, you don't have to say "sure, it needs x, y, and z". You built a cool thing and enjoyed it. That's awesome! Don't diminish your skill and effort like that.

I like reading posts like these. I don't want to see anyone fail but its a fact of life and it really comforts newbies like me who have a long road filled with failure before we reach the promised land.

Thanks Bill, an honest response. I think you nailed the emotion as well.
