Decide if your priority is to code or to solve problems. If you're doing this just for fun, then it's fine. If you have a problem to solve, then consciously choose to use 3rd party code - this way you can reach the goal faster.

iAmNaN71416yPart of the art of coding is knowing when to reuse existing code to achieve your goals. It's one of the foundations of good development. If you are continually recreating the wheel, then your value to an employer is diminished.

HTHazard276yDo you think that people would hire an architect that had to go chop down & process the wood first? Would you hire an artist that needs to go to the woods & mash matter for ink?

My coding style is extremely fundamental (I guess); meaning I have to write every piece of code myself and I don't like to use anything ready, which makes me very slow and costs the employer lots of money and time.
It's becoming very discouraging, but I just can't give it up!
Any ideas how to improve this situation?
