No single person has ever reinvented all the wheels and built something genuinely useful.
You can reinvent all the things for fun and for education, but then that's all you will achieve. Enjoyment and education. That's fine, if that is your goal.
If you want to actually build something people will use, you have to stand on the shoulders of giants. You get to reinvent one thing, and reinvent that one single thing well.
Believing you can single-handedly redo the work of thousands of people across dozens of (sub)fields, and do a better job than them, so much so that people will actually believe your work is superior and choose to use it, is pure lunacy.
Unless you can recruit your own team of hundreds or thousands of people, of course... but for that you have to be a (very) good leader.
