It's in my HN handle. I stand behind all my posts.

I've got links to a couple of dozen, in there (at least). Maybe over 30. I tend to toss one onto the pile, every now and then. I don't keep count. I don't fork other people's stuff. I'm the original author of all of it. I'm a bit...obsessive. My GH Activity Graph has been solid green, for a few years. I stay busy.

A couple of the projects are sort of "WIP," but you will note that they are also highly polished. A number of repos are legacy repos for shipping apps that have been retired.

I have been shipping software for my entire adult life, and finishing projects is my "at rest" state.

Right now, the other tab in my browser is a Confluence page, describing a project I'm developing (not open-source). It's a slog. I hate writing documentation.

But complete documentation is a big part of "finishing" software.

That project won't be done for months. I'm enhancing the documentation for an API that I wrote (the backend server), so the developer working on the dashboard can get his work done.
