I am a web developer without any success because I am too slow!

As the title goes. I'm just too f*cking slow! I'm sitting with a client's project for 6+ months (without pay) and I've covered only about 50% so far. This project is mildly complex- a custom video distribution platform with background jobs. However, have I been faster, it would have gone live by now! I took a whole lot of time understanding the technical concept, the underlying system design. Right then, I got hold of the sinister thing called procrastination, in combination with fear of failure, as well as perfectionism! The actual implementation is going even slower. I'm the perfect candidate to be replaced by AI; at least in terms of speed. I fear how will I learn and work on other technologies later on! This is also destroying my overall confidence and career. I have seen the sentence 'ship fast, polish later.' But I just won't follow it even if I go broke financially. Man, I'm fed up of myself! Has anyone ever recovered from similar situation? submitted by /u/swb_rise [link] [留言]
