The Highway To Abandoned Projects

The Highway To Abandoned Projects

The classic highway exit meme strikes again! Here we have the lone developer of a side project making that sharp right turn away from actually finishing a working MVP. Instead, they're veering off into the abyss of "what if I add this one more feature" and "maybe I should refactor this entire section for the fifth time."

Let's be honest - we've all got at least three half-finished GitHub repos that started with grand ambitions. You know, the ones where commit messages gradually evolve from "Initial commit" to "Fixed minor bug" to "WHY ISN'T THIS WORKING" before finally reaching "Last commit before abandonment (2019)."

The road to production is paved with the corpses of hobby projects that died because we just had to implement that custom authentication system instead of using Auth0 like a normal person.
