It's not clear to me from this article if the author has shipped a version of those projects which are "almost done", or whether they are closed sourced "product"-type projects or edu source projects where all of the commits and progress are public.
I wrote earlier this week on HN[1] about my very recent experience trying to ship _something_ (in the "product" category) to alpha testers in <1d and to an open beta in <7d, and it's something I recommend highly for people who are stuck wanting to go from "almost done" to "done" before shipping.
There is so much valuable feedback to be gained by shipping _something_ as soon as possible, and often just the act of getting that feedback goes a long way towards breathing fresh life into a project you might be starting to feel a little burnt out on.
