I find this more true for projects with larger lifestyles than small, proof of concept things. For me, a long labor of love where I have to add improvements exactly like you described here over some big, complicated project can be healing. Smaller setups like integrating with other tools, building CRUD things, etc, just use up a lot of the same "polish the rough edges" energy that I need for work.
