It's the same urge to abandon the current side-project and start a new one. It's normal, all Devs have it. Your brain always wants to do new fun stuff. You see a new shiny framework you want to use it. For me what took me out of this habit was to get rid of all the online-dev-community noise. Don't listen to any of the new trends, new frameworks, new architectures. They are just noise. And at the same time focus on why you started your side project in the first place: to solve real problems of real people. None of these people care what fancy tools you use or what architecture your backend is built with. What they care about is if you solve their problem. So focus on that. And if at some point your bad architecture from 5 years ago stops you from solving real problems, then change it. But from my experience the probability that no one will use your app in 5 years is way way higher than the probability that you have so many users that your architecture will actually matter.
