My passion doesn't lie in coding but I find a real thrill in working out a solution to an interesting problem, even (especially?) when I could just look up how it's already been solved. I reject the idea of that work being superfluous, not because it's Good For You (tho it is) but because it's fun

And when you're in the habit of Solving the Damn Thing Yourself, you create new problems for which no answer is readily available, and then try to solve them. When you succeed, you've expanded the possibility space, and (maybe) done something new. When you fail, you've had a little adventure

And even looking up an existing solution and implementing it yourself is a form of discovery, and can be immensely satisfying
