I became good enough to be hired as a developer by reinventing lots of wheels and making mistakes. A lot of mistakes.

an honest answer. I appreciate you my dude. Would be nice to have some other members here adopt a similar attitude, but i guess most of these fuckers will continue to spat shit they read on hacker news and act like they worked everywhere from tesla to goggle, as if it meant shit

To understand the wheel you must reinvent the wheel.

But please don't use your wheel in prod. I beg you!
