Uh so why don't you write some of those libraries? Do you think the ivory tower is the only place people conceptualize unmet needs (Hint: it isn't)

If you wrote a new library, what would you put in it? What is the point of writing a new library that contains functions that already exist in other libraries?

I'm not saying industry doesn't conceptualize unmet needs. I'm only saying that it's intellectually uninteresting.

So what useful things/libraries/whatever have you created? I'm rather curious what you find interesting enough to work on.

one point could be to generalize what an existing libraries do... perhaps... but I don't code much so I don't know
