Have you ever tried to find software for a specific need? I usually spend hours investigating anything I can find only to discover that all options are bad in one way or another and cover my use case partially at best. It's dreadful, unrewarding work that I always fear. Being able to spent those hours to develop custom solution that has exactly what I need, no more, no less, that I can evolve further as my requirements evolve, all that while enjoying myself, is a godsend.
