> "perfectly capable of judging when something is "done""
The actual statistics don't bear this out. Many projects fail because they never get started or take far too long. It's so incredibly common that every business 101 includes the saying that "perfect is the enemy of good", and even HN states that product velocity and iteration is directly related to startup success.
Also it's rather extreme to call this demeaning. Perhaps you should look at it from a different perspective of it being a fair question based on massive collective experience and encouragement to find success.
I qualified this as my opinion while also considering the other (potentially well-meaning) side. Unsolicited advice may be well-intentioned...or not, especially when it's a project you've been working on that means a lot.
