I agree. You have to know your lego blocks well and understand where they fit and where they don't. But if you choose to remain ignorant of the available lego blocks, and instead write everything from scratch every time, you're wasting a lot of effort.
- Igelau 6y ago> But if you choose to remain ignorant of the available lego blocks, and instead write everything from scratch every time, you're wasting a lot of effort. That's a good seam upon which to filet this analogy. A quick Google search turns up uncertainty as to how many different bricks there are. It could be in the 3000s, 6800s, or over 12000. We are all ignorant of the available lego blocks.
- kennu 6y agoI'm not entirely sure what you mean. But if we're talking about AWS cloud services, there are certainly AWS experts who know how to develop software in a cloud-native way and utilize most or all of the relevant services. That knowledge is what we are paid for. It's also true that there are a lot of AWS services available and expertise is divided into different specialty areas, like ML, IoT, etc. Hard to be expert at everything.
