Some people tend to reinvent the wheel unnecessarily.
On the other hand, other people import a huge library and then make ``their own'' program that's like 5 method calls in the library. At that point, it's not really your program, is it? You're really just using someone else's, right?
In some cases, I really feel like I'm making something of my own, and it feels great. But other times, it feels like I'm just gluing together parts other people have made. It can still get the job done, but it doesn't feel like I have full autonomy over my project anymore, and I can't take as much credit for it.
So how do you balance doing things on your own vs. just implementing a solution someone else came up with? Hell, even copying and pasting from Stack Overflow falls under this issue too.
