This seems really common. I categorize 'finishing' as a whole other skill/category than programming/hacking/building stuff. Recognizing that the last 10% is the hardest part is daunting and not as fun a lot of the time, but the reward and payoff can be worth it.

Yup, that's true that finishing a project is more than programming skills. You would have to do a lot of boring work on the way. For me, the last 10% of the work which contains more polishing to what you have built so far and making it ready is the hardest part.

But somehow I have successfully done that for my project https://github.com/joyread/server when I launched v1.0 and it is indeed rewarding.
