I too suffer from obessively overcoming challenges. I will say this, in a snarky and friendly way. I hope you understand.

If developing with high level abstractions wasn't challenging enough, your vision was too small. Surely you can think of a problem to solve that even Copilot would be of little use.

Imagine what you could build if you got a little more help from third party libs and a little more ambition?

I appreciate you for relating your experience. It's not ambition or challenge that is lacking, we are what's commonly called 'Amish'. This is just how we do things.

I'm sure this creates more questions than it answers, however, I hope it lends some context as to how we've both arrived at our own respective happy milieus.
