I agree. I got very close to shaving a lot of yaks when I just wanted to write faster blog posts. I wanted to improve my blog writing workflow by seamlessly pasting images from my clipboard to my .md file (which jekyll turns into a blog).

I was on the verge of writing my own plugin for that. Then I took a step back, took a deep breath, and realised that my goal was to write faster blog posts, not to write my own f*cking plugin. So I googled for a bit and found an existing plugin and modified it to my likings, making it do exactly what I wanted to achieve.

Engineers are often too fixated on building, and not explicit enough about what problem they are solving. They just want to build shit because it's fun, but often this is not optimal.
