Comment on Ask HN: As a programmer do you have ups and downs and periods of intense doubt?

Comments

If you can push yourself hard enough to get the idea built, you will face another bout of crippling self-doubt when you decide whether to show it to anyone. And then a MUCH bigger wall of doubt when you begin to market the idea and realize that good ideas don't sell themselves.

My advice is to choose smaller projects, even if they're not as commercially promising, just to build up your strength and ability to finish the job.
