You sit and think about doing something. You write it down in painful detail - an explanation meant to demystify it for people who will work on it with you. Then, two days later, you see an article on your RSS feed that has the same (or a very similar idea) which is up and running. And, they got a few million in funding.

"No no...it's ok. Don't worry, my boyfriend will come pick me up in a few minutes. I just messaged him."

That is when that massive 'L' neon glowing on top of your head falls on you.

Bah!
