Yeah, it's interesting how, when your job is making things, you manage to make things to make making other things easier, so your ability improves exponentially.

Musicians make music, so they have to rely on other people making tools for them, whereas toolmakers can just make better tools for themselves.

That is, if you can avoid reinventing the wheel, which we aren't great at.
