Dialogue

  1. Side-project
  2. Builder (thinking)There we are, nearly done. Just a few more hours and this thing will be up and running...
  3. BuilderOh wait, I just had an idea...
  4. Builder (thinking)Let's try out that new framework, just for fun...
  5. Passer-byStarting another side-project, are we?
  6. BuilderYeah... Well no actually, I've nearly finished the other one so I just wanted to test out this other thing

Why it lands

The title puns on West Side Story, and the last panel pays it off: the field is full of half-built houses, each abandoned at "nearly done" for the next new thing. Anyone with a folder of unfinished side projects knows the pattern; the last 10% of a project is where it stops being new.
