 Reinvent it all you want, you just might find a better version.

				I feel this so much. Like, re-inventing stuff is a great and effective (imo) way to learn how/why certain things work (or not) and how it could be improved.

Y'all mother fuckers who use "don't re-invent the wheel" as a tactic to not grow new neurons, as if a ceiling's there — fuck out of my circle.
