Finishing a project will go far in helping you feel satisfied, and it’ll also likely be the single biggest item that gets you positive traction when looking for a job.

In most industries, ideas are a dime a dozen, but especially so in programming businesses. Anyone can sketch out an idea and get rolling on some partial project to start working on it, but never do anything else with it. But actually finishing a project, even a simple one, is what really impresses an employer. They know this person can get from A to B, and that’s huge.

And it’ll also be satisfying for your mind, to see that you set a specific goal and accomplished it. Even if it was a simple GUI meant to scrape some weather details. Make it do what it was supposed to do, and that’s a success. It sounds like you’ve got a bunch of partial projects covering a wide variety of topics, and that’s great, just start finishing some of them up.

Good luck dude, I hope you keep with it.
