REINVENT THE WHEEL

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

While often well-intentioned, the advice to "not reinvent the wheel" can stifle curiosity and hinder deep learning, especially in fields like software engineering, where rebuilding foundational tools fosters true understanding. By exploring, experimenting, and even failing, individuals not only learn how systems work but also uncover new possibilities, making reinvention a valuable path to both personal growth and innovation.
