End of year side project cleaning.

I rigorously end unsuccessful side projects and save myself all the associated costs and effort. And it's not a drama or anything, it's all calculated and expected routine.

An old teacher once told me that there is the following difference in mentality between Germans and Asians when it comes to startups and IT projects:

The Germans plan and think about everything a thousand times before they set it in motion. They weigh up all the pros and cons and find a thousand reasons why a project would fail. And every 40 years they start a project that reasonably withstands the risk assessment.

Asians start 10 projects in a year without much consideration and are happy when a project emerges at the end of the year that is worth continuing.

I then decided that I would rather be of the latter kind. And that's what I've been doing for 25 years now.
