It's so funny how *nix gets rediscovered on a daily basis and only in few cases people actually can improve on tools that are older than their grand parents. But I can also understand why people do it. At first you need to have this experience that you just spent months building something that actually already exists. And then you still might have a boss and friends who wouldn't give you even 10% of the respect for googling the already existing solution compared to building one yourself (that might not even be usable by other people and therefore making you look even more important to your boss).
