Ship incrementally and often

It doesn't have to be "working code". It could be blog articles, conference talks, youtube videos, github gists, colab notebooks, social media posts, etc other places for your ideas to live, be found, discovered.

For example, I've been playing with vector search ideas for a LONG time. I have many unfinished ideas. I can empathize with your feeling. However, you are never really "DONE" - if you shipped something, you'd find the next thing in that area to work on. This loop repeats forever :).

If you scanned, the vector search stuff on my blog, you might not see the "big idea" yet, but I've written incrementally about parts of it, just to get bits and pieces of feedback.

It also helps my focus as it encourages me to keep going in a direction (or not) based on traction.
