Great read! Made me think of this too which I recently listened to: http://the-witness.net/news/2011/06/how-to-program-independent-games/ (by Jonathan Blow maker of Braid)

It's a bit older, but found it interesting to think about the mindset it's easy to get into and how it can be a trap.

While reading your article, I fall into this:

To me, it's a great article, I find myself in it, and a lot other things to learn

One favorite quote: "We’ve all had that feeling about at least one game, comic book, movie, etc., that comes out: “Gee, I could do better than this! This is overrated.” But it’s important to take a step back and realize that, hey, they put in the time to finish a project and I haven’t. "
