I solve problems with software and I do both. If I can copy something it is most often smarter to do just that. There is not only copying code or writing it yourself.

Find the most readable color of a font for a given background on most displays. You could do extensive research on colors for something that on the first look sounds rather trivial or find a very thoroughly worked out solution on stack exchange.

It is difficult enough to advertise self-made software when many people are looking for off-the-self solutions. So being fast and therefore affordable is quite important.

I mostly develop for embedded systems on custom hardware so ready to use solutions are rare. But if I want to visualize process data in a browser? Please give me all your thousands of dependencies Javascript.

An algorithm I implement from scratch? Very rare. This takes time and thorough testing compared to something that is already solved.
