Just yesterday I was reading Introduction to computing systems by Patt&Pattel when I realized: I'll never finish this book.
I have other big books lying around my home: OSTEP, Algo Design Manual by Skienna, SICP, Designing Data-Intensive Applications, Computer Systems A programmer perspective. They are all wonderful, that's why I bought them in print, but I'll never gonna finish them.
On top of that I'm doing a course on Docker. Learning more about Go etc.
So to answer your question. I no longer decide on what things to learn based on them being finisheable. I pick whatever I want to do today. Life is too short to do things you don't enjoy.
I'll never gonna finish my projects, but I have something to do everyday. I'm grateful for that.
