The Hardest Thing In Programming
- Jem 18y agoI think reinventing the wheel has its place. It has two benefits: 1) You get a better grasp of how the wheel works. 2) You may invent a better wheel. Of course, that's not to say that I think everyone should start re-writing everything they've ever programmed from scratch, but if we never tried anything new we'd still be using big stone wheels (The Flintstones cartoon comes to mind).
