In his words: "I have the superlative case of what could be called "tutorials purgatory", wherein anxiety over portfolio-building causes an infinite regress of acquiring skill (forever pushing the acquisition new skills onto a stack, wrongly thought essential to creating a pristine project)".

Discuss somewhere (maybe in the projects lesson?) that "good enough" is a good start. And, that you will always be acquiring new skills. have to balance acquiring new skills with actually producing something. Website/online persona must demonstrate both.
