I think I define Finish differently. My projects are commonly scratching an itch or building what could be a business/product (eg SaaS MVP). What I usually find is, scratching an itch is satisfying in it's own right. I don't need to publish it or seek further validation than seeing that I brought this thing to life or achieved the hairbrained hack I imagined. Likewise, usually when building an MVP, along the build process I realize that I actually have no interest in running/promoting/dedicating time to the actual operation of this theoretical business. If it already existed maybe I'd be a customer, but also maybe not. So while both of those things are technically unfinished, I took them as far as I wanted to. So to me, that's Finished.
- scottLobster 2y agoYeah, I spun up some projects specifically for resume enhancement/something to demo in an interview, and while they didn't end up as feature-complete or as clean as I'd hoped they were enough to score me a job I wanted. So they accomplished their intended task, hence they are "finished" in that sense. I could keep enhancing them, but I'm now getting paid to apply those same skills to much cooler stuff 40 hours a week, so the itch is very well scratched.
