I work as a sysadmin and dabble in web development stuff, so most of the code I write is relatively trivial, and I frequently end up writing from scratch. However, if there is a free software/open source library available to do some of the work I am more than happy not to reinvent the wheel.

Generally I find the FLOSS stuff out there is of such high quality and so tweakable that I couldn't justify trying to write my own version!
