Yes. I program even when I'm not paid to; I just work on things I find fun!
In my "fun time" code, I hardly ever use libraries, electing to implement them myself from scratch. Sometimes, the libraries I write actually get used; sometimes they lie there, never touched again.
Professionally, I get pretty annoyed by other programmers who don't care how things work or want to use a library for something simple (i.e., left-pad level simple).
