- gblargg 1y agoI think you need to invent it first, so you have no pre-existing ideas. Then you get the "doing it my way" out of your system and come to understand the challenges. Then when you see how it's done, you can see the wisdom of experience. Where it seems like it's poorly done, if you study you can see benefits to that. A huge benefit to not re-inventing is that standardization is a big value. Compare auto tires to phone batteries (back when they were replaceable). Auto tires are standardizes whereas every phone used its own slightly differently shaped battery.
