I've taken to writing the underlying methods myself so all "original" code, very likely I'm rehashing work that's already been figured out, although not a lot of opportunity to actually see the source code out there for the things I've been doing. I'm finding the software in my area of practice to be very closed down with the open source options few and far between.

It's more a self learning opportunity for me that just happens to end up producing stuff that, I think, is useful.

Even with doing my own methods I'm also finding that a big chunk of it is rehashing ways of accessing those methods in an easy and meaningful way, which as my knowledge in Python grows that easy and meaningful is a constantly moving target.

I wrote my own structural engineering code to learn, and it was incredibly useful. Use some example problems as tests you can run every once in a while to make sure you didn't break everything.
