90% of the modern tech industry is monkey-see-monkey-do.
Plenty of devs on HN who are vocally proud that they don't think about how the things they build work, they just build.
- Filligree 2y agoThat's not the tech industry, that's just everything. And that's generally fine. We're good at imitation. It's not that most people can't have their own thoughts, but they save that for things that are more important than work -- or at least I hope that's the case.
