While I understand some of the sentiment, I disagree with most of the opening. When it comes to the open projects I want to do, often it's either a library that I break off from something I am working on that I actively need. At other times, those projects languish because of a lack of motivation, time or both. Some of my best work comes out of when I'm getting paid to do the work directly. I take some level of craftsmanship/pride in what I do. Those are the things I finish and more than one has seen production use for over a decade. Not everyone has pride in the craft for their paid work, but that's kind of the point, not everyone is the same. I do wish more people took care in their craft though.
