The best answer is often "nothing". A tool I remove is better than a tool I replace: every tool I keep is one more thing that will break someday.

What do you do?
I teach robots to walk by day, and by night I build my own tools, including a website that pretends to be a PlayStation 2.
Why?
I'd rather understand a thing than just use it, so I rebuild what I touch until I know how every part works. And making something useless and delightful, like a 3D head that falls asleep when you ignore it, is the most fun I know.
What should we read?
