Labeling them "anti-X" kind of makes them sound negative, which is not how I see all of those things at all. This HN comment might eventually be published by me or not, but even if I don't hit "add comment" after writing all of this, doesn't mean it was a bad comment or I didn't value the time spent writing it, it just meant I myself didn't figure out the point of actually publishing it.

But all those websites, apps, blog posts and what not that I've created/written but never published, are still useful and was time well spent. People have almost an obsession with "finishing" and "shipping" something, otherwise it was worthless time spent on it. Calling those things "AntiApps" would make me feel bad about it, instead of feeling like I feel about them now, that in the moment they were "done" and I completed whatever I wanted to complete with it, it just wasn't the typical final artifact other people would need to have in order to feel like something is "finished".

Sometimes doing things just to do it is better than forcing yourself to reach some "completed" state you didn't even aim for when you started out.

Yeah, that seems to have been the original point. An "anti-library" is about humble awareness of how much you do not know [0].

Great point. There are, with good reason, very different values for "DoD" (Definition of Done) for different circumstances.

I think Co-* is probably better, though more obscure I guess
