In graduate school, many a moon ago, my advisor would say that this is validation of the idea, so one should be happy to be on the right track.

Thanks for the de-demotivation.

I don't see it as such. I see it as "independently arriving at the same, correct solution." This is vision, not just skill. You don't see a lot of that. You probably just got distracted by another, harder problem once you realized you could see the end of the project.

It isn't zero sum. There's still substantial design space to explore.

Lotus being received well just means people are ready for the idea. That may not have been the case in 2011, for instance.

I think I was misunderstood. By de-demotivation I meant re-motivation :)
