So relatable. But I have some finished projects now and some of them I use daily.

The definition of "finished" has changed for me also.

More and more, I am using half finished as a polished product, but pragmatically very useful software I have built myself.

More importantly, I see no reason to polish this into a product. It is more useful in this half finished, easily moldable state.

Like it use to make sense to bake the clay and sell the hardened output but now I want to keep the soft clay so it can be molded to my changing needs. I keep adding to a collection of these moldable states.
