What I liked most about this article is the first-person account of what it feels like to have startup ideas. It's so exciting! Your friends love them! It's super fun!
I guess ideas for movies and creative stuff are similar.
And for those who follow startup culture we all know there is a massive gulf between those who try to actually do stuff and those who just tinker forever. This guy in the article is the sad "I never tried" type.
As a guy who has built a bunch of big startups myself (a.sarva.co) I meet these guys all the time and feel bad when I do. The only advice is DO IT!!!
It's a whole other ball of wax once you meet those guys who DO start -- it's not just DO IT DO IT till it works (repetition). At that point you have someone who DOES stuff. So now they/we/me must work intelligently to do successful stuff.
I think folks in the comments here may be missing that distinction.
