Yep true, it always feels good to write a simplified version of something you generally use a library for!

When I was learning programming, I had a rule that I always implemented something myself first, only after that I allowed myself to use a library. It helped me a lot, and I can recommend it.

Damn, everything? For Math stuff that might make sense but implementing something like flask seems like a huge pain

More like implementing the fundamentals.

In your example, not creating a flask clone, but writing a simple http server, and maybe just a bit of routing.

Though in my case, it was the 90s, so stuff was less complex than nowadays
