If you become reasonably good at finding existing solutions to the problem at hand, and you save 90% of yours and company&#x27;s time, then it frees you (and the business, and consequently society at large) to pursue any other new problems that haven&#x27;t yet been solved. Software is a means, not an end in itself.<p>To me, solving known problems and doing the same thing over and over, just changing the tools, is akin to digging holes and covering them again. And what is the fun in that?
