Creating a great product needs time and hard work. This story beautifully illustrates that.

Earlier I used to spend so much time worrying about being perfect that many times I wouldn't even start. It's only now I realize the importance of creating good work every day, even though it may not be the best one.

I guess you could say I'm one of those weird programmer/designer hybrids. One thing I find fascinating is when I get into a long programming stint just how difficult it is to get back into the design mindset. I usually have to spend a few days producing, what I consider complete garbage, to get back into the groove. After that the creativity starts to flow naturally again.

It is almost seems like a muscle that atrophies without use. I wonder if that is why you see benefit in creating works each day? And why programmers are stereotypically said to be not be able to design, even though I see a lot of overlap.
