Daydreaming about the future instead of doing work today
Great piece.<p>Last year, I forced myself to release <i>something</i> every two weeks -- even if it wasn't finished or was just a poorly-written blog post. I can proudly say it was one of the most productive years of my life[1]. Most of those projects won't see the light of day -- no one will care and no one will notice -- but <i>releasing</i> is far better than endless planning.<p>And just to really hit it home: this year I built Lofi (a small Spotify player replacement[2]) and I shared it on reddit[3] (and on HN). But if you read most of the posts, it's a whole bunch of angry people arguing about Electron sucking, about why the app is 100mb, about how C++ and Qt would be better, etc. etc. The difference between me and those people? I'm already working on my next project ;)<p>[1] <a href="https://dvt.name/2019/01/06/retrospective-stuff-2018/" rel="nofollow">https://dvt.name/2019/01/06/retrospective-stuff-2018/</a><p>[2] <a href="https://www.lofi.rocks/" rel="nofollow">https://www.lofi.rocks/</a><p>[3] <a href="https://old.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/aufj4m/lofi_a_minimalist_spotify_player_with_webgl/" rel="nofollow">https://old.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/aufj4m/lofi_a_...</a>
