Well, yes. But if you're unhappy with say, the way Facebook or email or Twitter works -- you may want to write your own.
You might say "that's absurd, Twitter, Facebook and email aren't going anywhere!" -- but look at What's App or Snapchat or any other communication medium.
There's always room for improvement. Most solutions might be awful but every attempt to improve a system carves more of a path for the next giant.
- spion 12y agoI'm hoping that once we have widespread coding literacy (if that happens), we wont have to write our own twitter. Instead services like twitter will provide various "extensibility points" where anyone would be able to inject their own code according to what they need. Sort of like Excel lets you do with macros, but friendlier to use and more pervasive.
