Should I let my "beginnerishness" hold me back? (not rhetorical)
My situation is that I've been programming for about three years and have
learned a lot but still have a long long way to go.
I have an idea for an app that I believe would take off, but I'm afraid to
build it because it involves architecting a back-end with databases and
authenticated payment transactions and user accounts and I've never done
any of that.
I'm afraid that if I hacked it together, people would use it and things
would go wrong-- security flaws, data loss, somehow I accidentally
drop_table and lose everyone's payment history, etc, because I'm not
sufficiently experienced with industry practices in terms of data
management, versioning, hosting transitions, and plain old coding.
But I really want to build this.
Has anyone every been in a similar situation, and do you have any advice?
