Am I the only one like this? (Software)
| In general every programmer has felt like you do at some point in their life/career. Especially at the beginning most all have their genuine ideas which they want to implement and later on discover that they have been implemented before maybe not 100% same but mostly so. There is only so much a person can know what the world has to offer.
The wise programers, in time learn to do research before starting to work on something. (cont.)
| (cont.) This way they reuse code and don't reinvent the wheel.
The opposite of this is the NIH Syndrome (Not Invented Here), which is why most of the sowftware after a while gets abandoned and not maintained. Once the original programmers for any reason retreat from a project, virtually noone else picks it up as their own things and have no time for what is not theirs. And history repeats from this point onward.
| It's OK op, if you think it's going to be fun, you can do your own thing. Well, as long as it's fun.

| Recently started planning and working through building a library to use for an artificial intelligence chat bot in C#/.NET.
Though I'm at the initial stages of building, I just found out Microsoft has an open source BotBuilder SDK framework ready to work with.
It might just be me but it's a little depressing realizing the work and enjoyment I was about to put in from scratch yet I found code to reuse and why not use it? Bleh.
