Just as the execution of an idea can help it move forward, so can several attempts of execution help the idea move forward even more so. In a free market, competition drives the market forward and generally helps out everybody–but only if it’s a success. [...] [...] Now, there’s nothing inherently wrong with this.

I think the balance has been the passage of time that the idea could stay dormant without running rampant in my mind expanding and getting out of hand. Also I can now look back and say I can accomplish this part of the project using x, and this part with y. Don't ask me how or why but now I'd say I've got a much better understanding of my own coding ability than earlier.
