Ask HN: If I can Hack it together using Google does that make it useless?

3 points by teapot01 ↗ HN
By this I mean, when I am hacking away at an Idea I'm constantly hit by the thought that, "If I can do this by hacking away with google, then why can't someone else? Like say for instance the guys who wrote the tool/code/framework/widget I am basing my work on".

Does this happen to anyone else?

They could, but why would they?

The inverse thought, which is on my mind a lot, is that it would be awfully nice if someone else would make a thing that I want, that numerous other people COULD make, but that I have to personally make.
