Why is it necessary to ask why?

People like to code. One solution may not be optimal. Sometimes one learns by doing something that has been done before.

Why write any code at all? I am sure there's someone out there who wrote just about every piece of code to do any particular thing by now.

I "rewrite the wheel" all the time for a myriad of reasons, including just sating the need to see if I can "climb that mountiain".
