What do you mean by "better"? I know some people are technically better than me at making music but technically impressive doesn't always mean good (by good I mean something I would like because it's all subjective). Music I make is some of my favorite music because I'm the only person who knows my taste best so it makes sense, I can make exactly what I want to hear. And I don't like sharing it with random people I mostly just show it to my friends. But the main reason I make it is because the process feels so good and when I'm done I have a new favorite song to listen to.

This was the sentiment I was scrolling down hoping to find reflected in the discussion. I agree with you, but I was going to frame it a little differently: only you bring your own unique talent and lived experience to what you do. That makes the way you practice your music, visual art, craft (including programming), and its output, valuable. Even if—for the moment—you are the only person enjoying it.

I’m going to prod a little bit: share it with your neighbors as well! If there is a block party or something see if you can perform or play some recordings. Who knows, maybe there’s someone within walking distance that wants to jam! You neighbors will appreciate living in such a creative community!

I believe the OP is referring to e.g. Salieri vs. Mozart.
