That says it right there.
And as asshopo said, it's great to sit down and write something that YOU want and not have to wait/depend on someone else to want/need it first. For instance I have my own scripts/apps I developed just for this site.
Another great thing is Open Source projects. My AIM cleint (Adium) is open so I took the code and changed around the smilies to my own prefrences. Nothing big or special just a nice little tweak to my own personalized IM client.
