Did anybody else use to have a ton of ideas of programs they wanted to write when they sucked at programming, but now that they're good enough to write them, don't care anymore?

When you suck at programming(at the start) the idea of writing your own language, OS and the browser seems not that hard and incredible fulfilling. After actually experiencing large projects and the size of investment required to make something worthwhile, you look at these ideas as naive idealism that is akin to wanting becoming world's best painter with 100$ budget and pack of crayons. The crucial aspect many seem to miss, its the marketability and advertising trump any quality or features in the real world: where amount of users who will appreciate the software intricacies instead of GUI bells and whistles is far smaller than you think it is, and even when its clearly a superior solution people wouldn't use it out of habit and network effects.
>>12 Yeah, your will is crushed after you have 30 projects lying around that are only about 20% finished. Then you get a job and realise 95% of projects are never "finished", they just keep having features thrown at them until they are too difficult to maintain and are then rewritten from scratch.
>>17 Writing an OS is easy only when the scope is limited i.e. the scope is limited to your specific use cases. Recreating the features that a modern OS is expected to provide for a range of commodity hardware is not so easy.
