The eternal developer's paradox: rejecting perfectly functional apps because "someone else built it" while gleefully wasting entire weekends reinventing the wheel. Nothing screams "programmer" like spending 47 hours coding your own to-do app because the existing ones don't have that one obscure feature you'll use exactly once. The "deal-with-sunglasses" transformation represents that magical moment when you convince yourself that your janky homemade solution is somehow superior to the polished product with years of development and an actual QA team. It's not NIH syndrome—it's "professional growth"!
