To some degree, I feel the same way. I look at what people had created and in between the thoughts of "this is cool", "this is boring", and "why didn't anyone think of this before?", there's a sense of inspiration that someone has created something and people are using it now. (I also get something similar to NIH, but I've learned through the years to mostly ignore that.) I get a lot of joy in using software to allow people to do something new, something better than they had done before, or just to make their everyday life a little bit easier.
