One other reason: they just aren't afraid to fail. I know a lot of people that want to do things, and do try, but immediately feel overwhelmed by the impossibility of it all. The most prolific creators I know realize failure is a pretty uneventful outcome: you just move on to some other interesting thing. |

For example, I'm learning to program, and I can move pretty quickly on things, as long as I'm getting enough information to make the next step. To me, failure with feedback is awesome! But every so often, I hit a problem and don't even know how to analyze the available information to move past the error, and I tend to get bogged down at that point.
For the more experienced programmers out there, I wish there were a Stack Overflow for troubleshooting specific problems, not as a reference for future people, but as (a) a way for novice learners to help get 'unbogged' and (b) slightly more experienced, but still junior developers to review other learners' code and help them debug (which is in and of itself, as much, and sometimes more of, a learning experience than actually coding something in the first place).
