Exactly. This isn't a commercial product that must be shipped yesterday because of competition and not to anger investors; just go ahead and do things, the journey is a big part of the reward.
The guy is amazing! Should we have some day the analog of the Nobel prize for software development that benefits people, he should be among the first 10 to receive it.

Look at the Turing award, it is known as the "Nobel of computing."

The ACM Turing Award is for computer science, not building software. The ACM Software System award is more relevant here.

For example, Richard Stallman (GNU) and Chris Lattner (LLVM) have both won the software system award, but it seems unlikely for them to be considered for a Turing award.
