Ask HN: I lack imagination for electronics projects

I love to learn about programming, protocols, these or that technical specification, how to make things work, etc.

However, I not only lack imagination of what I could use this for in the real world, I also don't get a kick out of seeing the final thing.

It feels like learning/understanding is more fun than actually seeing the product.

I have dozens of embedded boards that I have used until they lost their novelty, never really put to "good" use.

At work, when people try to show us engineers what cool things users are doing with our stuff, I'm like "meh".

Anyone else like that? I wish I got more excited out of building things. How to fix this? A different perspective?
