This is a great example of digging into existing functionality, understanding how it works, and building on it. I've seen way too many examples of re-inventing the wheel just because someone wasn't willing to put in the effort to research what's already out there. This is the type of example I would share with my junior developers on how to do good dev, especially in an older enterprise codebase.
- vladms 3y agoI think the thing that prevents efficient research is presentation of what is already there. There are lots of great things presented very poorly/undocumented. Anybody developing should worry much more about explaining clearly/presenting what is out there rather than build amazing features that nobody will use that they are not aware of. But this must be a management vision and effort, if you are always pressed just to deliver something working, you will end up with lots of people reinventing the wheel internally.
