What is your side projects showstopper

Hi Everyone,

We as developers are always hacking around. Trying new things and starting lots of side projects. Certain side projects are meant as an experiment but other site projects are meant to be something real. Maybe it's your next startup idea or a new idea to make some extra money.

But there always comes a moment you stop working on your side project. Maybe it's not interesting anymore or because you're lacking a skill. Maybe you're not good at design. Or you are good at design but not at development. Is it every time the same thing that is a show stopper or is it every time something else?

For me, there are usually 2 show stoppers.:

  1. I am bad at design. So the design does not look good so I won't put it live.
  2. It takes more time to really finish the project then I thought.

I am curious about your show stoppers.
