You're on hacker news, where people (used to?) like hacking on things. I like tinkering with stuff. I'd take a half working open source project over a enshittified commercial offering any day.
But hacking and tinkering is a hobby. I also hack and tinker, but that's not work. Sometimes it makes sense. But the mindset is often times "I can build this" and "everything commercial sucks".

See, how is that appropriate in any way in a work environment?
