> I dare you to list three finished software projects.
I can probably list 30, and point to the repos.

Closed-source games for Windows 98
It was absolutely perfect. Closed-source, no one comes and complains they cannot compile anymore when the compiler and the library headers change. Games are just done, and if there are bugs they do not really matter. And Windows 98 apps still run perfectly on Linux with WINE.
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.
