There's a split between the types of people who do things for the kudos and those who do things to learn or explore and those who do things so they can sell the result.

Presumably there's a name for this condition.
@bigzaphod I think it’s called, “being human.”
Sure, I learned stuff and had fun, perhaps (if being confused or stressed over a hobby project you know will never see the light of day is fun). But at the end of the day.... why, though?
What's weird is, that, for me, it's always been a little bit of all three. I don't know how many hobby projects I have that I've never shared anything about with anyone but I built with the idea that someday I'd show someone and they'd say, "hey that's cool let me give you some money."
Except then I never finished them and never showed them to anyone so no one thinks I'm cool and no one gives me money and instead I just spent a lot of time frustrated or confused for no apparent gain.
