One has to learn somehow, and reinventing is an important part of that.

Aspiring artists will paint nude figures and flower arrangements and white cubes on draperies, even though these subjects were done to death centuries ago. Junior programmers should feel the same way about doing things that have already been done: someone probably has done it better, but I still have to do it for myself, maybe a few times over to get the hang of what's the point.
