For as long as I can remember, I've loved creating things. From designing artwork to building websites, and from producing videos to recording music... if there was an opportunity to create something, I've taken it. But creating or building something...

Oh this article hits home for sure specially the part of projects being never-ending work, seeing them as opportunities to improve even if you're 'done' with it. I just feel like my third eye was opened hahahah. Thank you so much for sharing this!

Ahh Yuri I’m so glad it could help you!

It’s really important to look at projects as never-ending works in progress and you won’t obsess over the flaws anywhere near as much!

I’ve followed you and I’m looking forward to seeing what you produce 😀

Without a doubt, a lot of people including myself struggle with sharing their work. Whether it'd be fear of criticism or just thint you're not good enough. Thank you for pointing out how to overcome this 🙂

this article is amazing Daniel! I want to print it and hang it on the wall to remind myself about those points 😂

Thank you so much Yosra, I really appreciate it. Inspired by your comment, I decided to take these tips and make a graphic that can be printed out on A5 paper (available at: drive.google.com/file/d/1J85bwpHYRXb7ELjrhAHnBkaW…).

Thanks!

Very insightful article, I'm glad you started sharing as well. Most developers have felt this way one way or the other

Thanks Abdul! I think it’s such a common feeling for us all to have, but also deeply flawed because other people will usually compliment the attempt rather than simply criticise the work itself!

This is a very nice article, Daniel! I also have this fear of sharing what I create because of the criticism. I need it to be perfect before I share it with anyone else. But over past few years, I have faced this fear and now slowly getting better at it. I'm glad to hear your thoughts and this gives a better perspective think about my own fears and overcome those!

I’m so glad you enjoyed it Sumudu, and I hope it helped you to reframe how you look at your work.

The more you share, the easier it gets 😀
