I've been working on an app for 3 weeks now. I understand this will be hard (already is) and take many days, but i find myself wondering how long it might take? I even wrote a small python program for figuring out how many hours i will have worked if i work for 6hrs for 7years, 7hrs for 2 years etc (It's a 9x11 table, 9 years, 11 hrs). Are there any number of failures or hours after which it might become closer to unreasonable to fail? Is this a mindset problem i need to get over or is it common to think about this this again and again?

@MJ DeMarco (is it alright to tag him?)
