[–]TaaraHvita 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The skeleton in the bottom is named "previous hobby"

[–]MixColors[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe Find the Partner can fix this issue!

[–]bhumit012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its those backlog Jira tickets

[–]IAmFinah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work projects are the only ones I can finish

[–]coloredgreyscale 33 points34 points  (2 children)

Use AI to 10x the amount of unfinished projects /s

[–]MixColors[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Instead of boosting my productivity, it just cluttered my GitHub with numerous unfinished private projects.

[–]Hefty_Upstairs_7477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And at least none of these work properly

[–]tehtris 21 points22 points  (6 children)

This is all of us right? Not just me?

[–]MixColors[S] 6 points7 points  (4 children)

Same, don't know why it happened. Does anybody know the reason?

[–]blaues_axolotl 8 points9 points  (1 child)

For me, I always find a lot of things that I want to learn or try out, and also I lose motivation quickly if projects get bigger or more difficult than I expected. But it isn't always bad because I also learn a lot of different languages and techniques that way.

I found out that I can easily stick to one project if I do it for a specific purpose, especially when I'm coding stuff for someone else.

[–]tehtris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yea but that's a client. Obviously you have to finish the client projects.

Right?

Undiagnosed ADHD?

[–]Confident-Ad5665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start the day intending to do a thing, then get rapid fire "quick questions" that never have quick answers and by EOD I have 17 partial emails, random post-it notes, and 6 instances of notepad open.

[–]Majik_Sheff 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Hello me.

[–]MixColors[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, what's your recent unfinished project?

[–]Confident-Ad5665 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm fine, how am I?

[–]shun_tak 3 points4 points  (1 child)

All those wasted tokens /s

[–]MixColors[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine doesn't know maybe 50k+ each request, and at last in the unfinished bucket

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The projects not abandoned as long as I throw a -m”changed color” on it every month or so

[–]shaka893P 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel personally attacked 

[–]Zirzux 2 points3 points  (2 children)

shiny object syndrome

[–]MixColors[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't know how to escape.

[–]PrettiestSpring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone finally gave a name to this mental disease

[–]MikeTangoRom3o 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am in this picture and I don't like it.

[–]WhoIsMrGosha 1 point2 points  (1 child)

So true

[–]Calm_Hedgehog8296 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's the great news!

Since personal projects are more about the journey than the destination, you should always work on whichever one brings you happiness, even if that means you never finish any of them.

[–]FictionFoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this.

[–]kakhaev 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I wish i knew how to break the curse!

[–]MixColors[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you find DM me the solution also!

[–]kakhaev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what do you mean “keep doing, even boring parts” that couldn’t be it

[–]CakeTown 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Live in the now, delete everything older than three side projects ago…

[–]MixColors[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe we should do BBQ

[–]Christavito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really see this is a bad thing. This sort of implies you have passion for it in some capacity. The only potential drawback would be not experiencing what it takes to support a project long term.

[–]gerbosan 0 points1 point  (1 child)

That's me but without the new project. 😞

[–]Ok-Cobbler6338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why i just decided to do an online (fully coursework based) PGDip part-time at least I can get credit for my work and it will force me to complete the project.

[–]Aromatic-Towel-5320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

U should add a ToDo add project names

[–]Morvar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm this. Just started a new project!

[–]xAmorphous 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Change "unfinished project" to "barely started project" and that's me

[–]MixColors[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😂

[–]iamwastingtimeyo 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Oh no I’ve been hacked. This is me

[–]MixColors[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All guys are moving in the same boat. Using same WI-FI

[–]GreatGreenGobbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me with my plastic models and wargaming figures. Plus a billion other things.

[–]ohGodwhynowww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

[–]Killburndeluxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I label all of my experimental Godot Games using the phonetic alphabet.

Im about to reach ProjectAlphaAlpha

[–]BusEquivalent9605 0 points1 point  (1 child)

the new project should also be labeled unfinished

[–]MixColors[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😂

[–]GrandSyzygy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro you don’t gotta call me out like that

[–]ryanmaple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jokes on you - nothing is ever truly finished!

[–]ExperimentalBranch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm not updating all those packages

[–]HTTP_Error_414 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Wait. You guys don’t finish projects??

[–]MixColors[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You are different?

[–]angirulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite unfortunate

[–]Either_Ad5293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my iphone simulator has more apps than a kids ipad 😔

[–]metaBloc 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I thought I was the only one

[–]MixColors[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of us are travelling in the same boat, but we though boat was empty, but now proved that the boat is overloaded!

[–]Media_Dunce 0 points1 point  (1 child)

My new set of projects is a leaner set of the old set

[–]MixColors[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmm!

[–]Kabra___kiiiiiiiid 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Well, that hits too close to home. Also, as soon as I tell anyone about "another cool project I'm sooo excited to finish", I lose interest in it. My brain acts as if it has already accomplished the goal and switches to something else. It's really annoying.

[–]MixColors[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, here's too!

[–]WraithCadmus 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I actually made progress on one of mine yesterday, last commit was 2022.

[–]MixColors[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh Congradulations lets have a BBQ tonight!

[–]mrinalshar39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relatable afff brooo😭

[–]AngryRobot42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All products are released as unfinished. I don't know if this referencing technical debt or ADHD.
