I liked this post an awful lot too. There is definitely something intrinsically rewarding about creating something for your own personal use. Sometimes it almost seems to enhance the experience if you know that it would never realistically be of use to anyone else because of your unique circumstances. An enjoyment of making things in this way is what lead me to start programming, and although I'm still very much an amateur, I love the moments where a simple program I've made comes together to make something useable.
