Ask HN: What did you fail to finish in 2023?

Hello and good tidings fellow HN readers,

Please share stories of ways you / yourself / your team / someone you were watching really blew it up / didn't make a deadline / otherwise failed in this past year.

Why am I asking?

The end of this year was a frantic ~2 month sprint to finish a personal project before the end of the year. It's not gonna happen. I have to stop and reset, figure out how it will finish in January. In the grand scheme it's not a big deal but I'm still upset.

I left details of my project out of this because they don't matter. I know I'm not the only one who has tried to reach a goal and failed, so please share your story.

Let us revel in our Sisyphean techno-masochism as we seek to push our limits (or just survive) and fail.

Happy New Year, I hope your 2024 trash fires burn bright and your successes are just around the corner.
