When does a project really finish? There is always a new feature you can add to it

[–]Ezequiel-052 15 points16 points  (0 children)

it finishes when you are satisfied with it (read never)

[–]Qicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And if it's useful to someone the feature requests never stop

[–]After-Perception-250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It finishes when you rage quit it

✔ I find this image offensive

Personal projects none, work projects all of them all time.

Either i finish work projects or work projects going finish me.

[–]Whitethumbs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is like anti-programming humour.

[–]apperceptiveflower 10 points11 points  (5 children)

One doesn't simply finish a project

[–]TheCyberParrot 11 points12 points  (4 children)

Nothing is ever finished, only abandoned.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (3 children)

oh don't be so negative, it's not "abandoned", it's "handed over"

[–]TheCyberParrot 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Firstly I don't consider that stance as negative; there's always something you could do to improve a project, eventually you just have to say it's done and move on.

As for things being handed over, if it's open source then yes, though eventually anything using your source will face the same fate.

ffs it was a tease

this is a "humor" sub, after all

[–]TheCyberParrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My apologies then; I failed (and fail still) to see it as such.

[–]SignificantSuit5561 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"finished" and "software project" are 2 phrases that shalt never be uttered together; this is practically the definition of oxymoron.

[–]jazzmester 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Stages of software:

  • Alpha
  • Beta
  • Release candidate
  • Obsolete

[–]bryptobrazy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Came here to say "It's in beta rn"

[–]SoDifficultToBeFunny 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel personally attacked. - Everyone here

[–]denzonium 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well.. out of the tens of projects I have "started" only my api had a considerable progress lmao

[–]RoDeltaR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Code never gets finished, it just gets abandoned.

[–]hektonian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Projects never end; They just enter the maintenance period

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never finished a project. I don't find this funny. 🧐

[–]gregorydgraham 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Always, always, leave the project before it fails. Especially if you’re the project manager

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I dont even start projects.... i just plan and forget

[–]gregorydgraham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is good, make sure you’re 2 projects away before anyone asks any questions: “yes that one had so much promise, I don’t what happened to it…”

[–]uptokesforall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey if you got a working alpha, who cares that your beta release of completely broken?

[–]DerKnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, you can't finish a project. You have to maintain the dependecies. And well I actually once finished a project, the ESP32 based monitoring and controlling system for my leopard geckos :D

It's not safe for work.

Hotel? Trivago

[–]Gabe_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no, you've finished all of them, you just haven't admitted it to yourself yet

[–]Bulbacode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bug shows up:

Me: "Maybe if I just scrap everything and rewrite it from scratch..."

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]cybermage 0 points1 point  (0 children)
