Totanly agreed. We as a profession do not learn what existed before, only what the latest are doing and it's tiring. We value creating instead of reusing and maintaining, as seen in the extreme in the evaluation process at Google. We have Show HN for brand new stuff and not Remember HN for past, proven technologies put back to use.
As said eloquently by Lu (https://www.todepond.com/ https://www.todepond.com/):
NO MORE IDEAS
WE HAVE ENOUGH
NO MORE TOOLS
WE HAVE ENOUGH
- kwhitefoot 2y agoNot many creative technical people want to be mere caretakers of the ideas of the past, however beneficial this might be for the general public.
- rakoo 2y agoMaybe that's the root of the problem. Making technological toys for fun is absolutely ok, but when we pretend to solve people's problems we should probably take a look at old ideas first
