True. And if that doesn't have a negative effect on others (which I
think it doesn't) there is nothing wrong with that.

Also true, but there is more to it. If I can create my own framework,
get more experienced, and be able to spare time in the long run
because I can quickly implement features I want, it makes me a more
efficient and experienced person. That leaves me more useful when
helping people, and gives me more time to help them too.

I have no problems. My web framework is working just as I want it to.

What problems didn't I think of yet?

I'm using mod_python, Cheetah, SQLObject and PostgreSQL. I publish all
my own code under an Open Source license so other people can learn
from and contribute to it. How am I not reusing code?

The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a
capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the
safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
