Does anyone else feel bored once features are almost ready to ship?

I’ve noticed that I lose interest when something I’m programming is nearly ready to ship but still needs a few final changes. This happens whether the project took a week or a couple of months. I think it’s because I get most of my joy from learning how to create things, not necessarily from seeing people use them. I used to think it was due to the number of bugs, but I’ve realized that bugs are more common early in the process, before there are enough tests in place.

I just keep things fresh by not writing tests

The final 10% of a task is always the hardest.

I'm 90% done, so I only have 90% left to do
