NIH syndrome? I am guilty of it too. I love implementing things from scratch, you learn a lot by doing so and you get to own the codebase end-to-end, so no surprises and fighting around others’ choices. It can get exhausting too though, in the end I succumb to using off-the-shelf components because my primary goals move at a higher level.

In a complete fit of insanity, I'm attempting to implement at least some of the HTTP spec, from scratch, in Rust. The aim is my own web framework, as dependency free as possible.

I don't see much point in trying to build software at a "higher level", like whole products and services. I'm going to go down low and train myself on the fundamentals. Hopefully in time I'll be able to contribute to the foundational bits. You're right, it does get exhausting. At some point you just want to rebuild everything, which is not possible.

At some point you just want to rebuild everythingI’ve done it, which is why if you look at my githubGitHubstagas - Overviewstagas has 462 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub. I have 450+ repos, I wanted to own the whole stack, package managers, testing frameworks, dev servers, everything from scratch. But in the end, what I really wanted to do is build an app. I learned a ton though, not regretting the time spent, but now I’m just using what’s there, and AI, to get things done.
