HN 提问：你现在为自己构建多少软件？
1 分•作者: lellow•2 个月前
随着软件开发成本的持续下降，你发现自己更多地在使用别人的软件，还是自己构建软件？
我一直在思考这个问题……我构建了我们家庭的财务系统（最初只是一个简单的预算工具，但现在它跟踪一切），一个用于创建和编辑视频的 Mac 应用，一些供个人使用的开发者工具，为我的孩子们开发了许多应用程序，还有一些游戏等等。
所有这些市面上都有大量的商业产品，其中一些也有开源替代品，但 IMHO，通过自己构建所获得的个性化程度胜过一切！
有兴趣看看其他人都在做什么。:)
附注：我写软件已经 8 年了（其中 5 年是专业从事的）。

With the cost of building software continuing to drop, what have you found yourself doing more: using other people's software, or building it yourself?<p>I was thinking about this... I've built our family's financial system (it started as a simple budgeting tool, but now it tracks everything), a Mac app to create and edit videos, quite a few developer tools for personal use, a bunch of apps for my kids, some games, and so forth.<p>All of these already have plenty of commercial offerings in the market, and some have open-source alternatives, but the level of personalization I get by building them myself beats any argument (IMHO)!<p>Interested to see what others are doing. :)<p>PS: I've been writing software for 8 years (5 of them professionally).
