Not everyone can build stellar libraries that solve critical problems in their first go. Waiting for the ideal problem to solve, results in just another form of doing nothing, inspite of good intentions. When you reinvent the wheel and make it a little better, the library might or might not survive but the developer will learn essential skills that he/she can apply when she encounters an unsolved problem. We need to be immersed in tech for sometine to be able to identify critical problems. One thing a developer could do instead of reinventing the wheel is to contribute to open source projects that need help. Yet, creating a library from the ground up by oneself has its own merits in terms of identifying holes in your process and learning new skills
