The Wheel Invention - Beneficial For Learning?
- by Sarfraz
Hello,
Chris Coyier of css-tricks.com has written a good article titled Regarding Wheel Invention. In a paragraph he says:
On the “reinventing” side, you benefit
from complete control and learning
from the process.
And on the very next line he says:
On the other side, you benefit from
speed, reliability, and familiarity.
Also often at odds are time spent and
cost.
He is right in both statements I think. I really like his first statement. I do actually sometimes re-invent the wheel to learn more and gain complete control over what I am inventing.
I wonder why people are so much against that or rather biased. Isn't there the benefit of learning and getting complete control or probably some other benefits too.
I would love to see what you have to say about this.
