I feel this! When I need to do something in my computer my first impulse is usually to think about writing the code. Doesn’t matter how many free tools are already around. Why? Because software design and coding is fun! It’s not cost-effective in terms of time and effort, but way more fun than reading a manual for an existing thing and getting good at that thing. Example: right now I’m looking at a self-hosted wiki to organize my upcoming D&D campaign. As I look through the docs for dokowiki and wikijs I’m already thinking, how hard can it be to write one? A mind is terrible thing!
