Totally cool and fun when you're a student, doing it in your spare time, or have a seriously burning need to improve in a way that requires a total rewrite. But not cool at all when you just go off and do your own thing slowing your entire team down and adding to the pile of technical debt you're creating for them to maintain when you inevitably leave in a year or two. There is a reason many open source projects have billions of downloads. I'd rather bet that they'll still be around and giving me no effort improvements and security/bug fixes with major testing in a few years. Fly by night wheel reinventing in industry is a curse.
