For personal projects, I will happily build everything from scratch myself. It’s great fun and I learn so much, so why wouldn’t I? (Although it’s fricken awesome when people show up to help out.) For work projects, I like to look for the best available FOSS option and then try to help out on that project so I can feel a bit invested in it. This helps calm down my hacker urges to build my own thing from scratch :)
