This.

Every time I think I've found a really clever, novel solution to a ultra specific graphics problem, someone else has already implemented it, usually much better than I'd have done, and was kind enough to put their code online for everyone to use.

DAMN ASSHOLES, being smart and kind, so I can't even feel cool for 4 minutes, before I fail at implementation. >:c

    Don't worry. Future generations will have an opportunity to dive all these problems after AI destroys a whole generation of useful development along with all the repositories of prior research.

    Well they also probably spent well more than 4 minutes trying to implement it and failed multiple times along the way. Just make a small tweak and call it your own, let other people get that pesky trial and error phase out of the way.
