Already a Library for That

"Telling a programmer there's already a library to do X is like telling a songwriter there's already a song about love." - Pete Cordell

A quote-style programming meme compares programmers discovering an existing library with songwriters hearing that a love song already exists. The joke is that programmers still want to build their own solution, just as songwriters keep writing songs about love. It is used as a reaction to developers reinventing the wheel or refusing to use existing tools.
