This is the case even among highly technical and otherwise competent programmers. Junior developers especially will spend days reinventing wheels in whatever hot new language or framework when a better solution can be had in 5 minutes of reading a manpage. There seems to be nothing I can do to convince these devs of the errors of their ways.

- ximm 4y agoThis is different though. When junior developers reinvent wheels they are learning. The challenge here is to not put the results into production but still make it feel impactful.
