Just signed up to comment on how much I love this comment! It echoes my own experience too.

In my job after a period of learning and implementing the current processes, I wanted to make it better and my job easier. I did some Powershell scripting to begin with. Then I needed more so I started building C# WPF applications to manage and automate these processes. When I began developing it started out as merely a front end to some CSVs. Since then more and more people started using it and giving feedback and suggestions. It became a passion for me. I hit so many walls along the way and overcame them with internet resources and tutorials. Sometimes I would work weekends on this project. After many feature versions, bug fixes, and refactoring to address maintainability, unit testing and administrative/logging, it grew in complexity and users.
