Hi. 👋
I'm Denis. I'm going to give a talk at my company and I need your help with my small investigation.
So, why do you abandon your personal projects?
Thanks a lot for your answers in advance!

Some roadblocks...
That's a great answer! Thanks!
Happy to contribute.
Usually, just plain old lack of time. Because I never really know how much time I'll have, I usually include
CRANKY.md
in personal projects, which I talk about here:The Cranky Developer Manifesto

Moved on to the next super awesome idea! 😁
I can totally relate to this! :D
Same here!
Generally because I no longer have a good use case. I may have found a better solution, or completely just dont have the same problems any more.
I tend to create tons of quick prototypes that never see the light of day, but the ones that come out of that tend to stick for quite awhile.
Sometimes I paint myself into a corner and then get frustrated and rage quit
When I was working on my personal project, I am getting bored so fast. I am always thinking about the big problems I will see, And when I thought it the project seems like an unsolvable monster to me. :D
This is a great discussion topic.
Usually, it's due to time. I'll have every intention to getting back to it, or updating it, but I work full time and have limited free time. What time I do have, I prioritize and coding it's on the list at times.
Sometimes, my goals as far as personal projects, etc shift. It's not my showiest project, but I did revisit my Halloweenti.me during October as opposed to my other projects because it was relevant and I wanted to work on something fun and low-maintenance.
A bit over ten years ago I abandoned all my...
Visual Basic 6
projects.
I guess I wouldn't need to explain any further, but sometimes it is good to let tech go.
Lack of time
Most of the time lack of time to allocate :(
Got an idea for new project so lost interest in old project.
