I think it boils down to the ability of being able to divide a big problem into smaller parts and understanding in what order you need to takle them. The more you try building big things the better you get at doing it.
After getting into university I decided to build an interpreter[0]. For someone who didn't even have the notion of a parser, it just felt like an unaproachable task. Even though, I sticked to it and the architecture became clear in time. That's another thing, even if you try to build something and miserably fail at it at each iteration, you still get better at it. The feeling of the task being too vast and daunting is just a feeling and knowing there's something on the other side makes it easier to power through it.
Hope to see your database on HN someday! :^)
