In a related anecdote, one thing that blew my mind was the realization that any "program" or "app" fundamentally packages existing functionality that you can already do without that specific app. Most of the time, it still makes sense to use and pay for the abstraction rather than reinventing the wheel constantly but it is a sobering thought for sure.
