That indeed is amazing. In a typical app development project vision, product and engineering is owned by different people. Sometimes, vision and product is done by a single person. Rarely, I have came across projects, where a visionary, thinker and creator is a same person. Outcome of such a project must be absolutely fantastic.

Thanks. That's flattering, though maybe not as rare. The guys at Instagram designed and built the app. Googlers did it? :)

and both have billion dollars associated with them. That was the point.. if planner n doer is the same person.. often the result is an amazing product..

yeah it's sweet when the 16 hour days start paying off big :). But doing design and coding both is a lot of fun - though I wouldn't mind having some help a good visual designer..
