Vyrotek|Bridging the gap between code and wealth

I currently have two projects very close to being completed. If there is one thing I learned while trying to develop both of them it is how true the 80/20 rule in development really is. The first 80% of the projects had their obstacles but as things like project scope became more clear things developed fairly quickly. But, now both projects pretty much have hit the same obstacle. They are both in the last 20% stage and it is taking forever to make any progress! This stage involves simple things that can make or break your service. For example, the design and user friendliness is very important but is so hard to get done right on the first attempt. If someone thinks it’s too hard to accomplish a task or they don’t know how to accomplish it, then they wont! And the last thing I want is a frustrated user. Especially if that user is very vocal about their frustration. I am also finding that the last 20% of a project has a lot of stuff that just isn’t fun to do. For example any service needs a well thought out Privacy Policy and Terms of Service agreement. Otherwise, you could find yourself in a lot of trouble once you gain a large number of users using your service. I’m not sure where to even start on some of these last requirements but hopefully I can get things figured it soon. It’s really hard to stay focused on finishing what I have started and not start something new. I have a few more ideas I would love to start up and I just need to resist the temptation to start a new project when I am so close completion.
