Great points, I totally agree with you!

I also feel that reinventing the wheel makes you appreciate the technology that's out there already. For example, I'm rebuilding my blog and I realized there's a lot that goes into a CMS. I definitely take things like this for granted when it's a one click deploy for a headless CMS.

Good point, Jonathan! I know of bicyclists who tear down their own bikes just to recreate it (exactly the same way) again. It's not just a matter of "what works". Appreciating the craftsmanship that's put into a piece of work is (I would argue) more important!
