2. "has a good idea"
3. "cut throat, competition heavy web space"
4. "spend day in and day out coding"
5. "how to survive in the web start-up space"
Nowhere do you mention "building something people want".
Nowhere do you mention the "utter joy of manifesting something out of nothing".
These 2 things are so overwhelmingly important that they really do overshadow everything else, like the 5 details you do mention.
If I wasn't nice, I'd say, "You just don't get it."
But since I am nice, I'll simply say, "You just answered your own question."
