There are so many things. Make simple code is one of them. It’s so cliche. Making progress is more important than making beautiful code. Software is a tool before it’s an art.

Now, much more, I appreciate developers who can carry the weight of a project from beginning to shipping. Making a working software that people actually use is so hard.

You should try again Water at some point. We still don't have exactly what you were building.

Yeah, most of us are struggling with the tradeoff between nice code and working code. All nice code? Then never release anything. Code that merely works? Recipe for burnout. Having real users by releasing a shitty MVP helps a lot against burnout. and sometimes you just need to step away from code, find pleasure in life, and come back when all the experiences are processed and learnt from.
