>the joy of problem solving

It's frontier exploration that brings me joy. If a clanker can do something, then it's a solved problem. I use all the tools at my disposal to push the frontier of problems solved. Wasting my time re-inventing the wheel brings me the opposite of joy.

That's so reductive as to be useless. You might as well replace "clanker" with "computer" or "pencil" or whatever else you want.
