I don’t know, I only bother to finish projects for work. With personal projects, it always ends up following the 20/80 rule — 20% of the code produces 80% of the value. The remaining 80% of code is largely uninteresting busywork and just isn’t worth the effort for a pet project.
But it’s definitely worth implementing the core concepts in total, both for whatever goal and your own learning. The rest just needs a working mental model, but actually implementing is a waste
As an aside, I’ve found this also holds true for most games, and stopped bothering to finish them (you can usually understand most games in total very quickly, largely because their systems are so shallow)
