Yeah. Ok. You want the fine print? Reinvent the wheel … for your own learning and fun. Or invent a different kind of wheel.

Don’t reinvent the wheel on a tight deadline while the rest of the team does useful work. Don’t reinvent the wheel and then expect to be rewarded or respected as if you had really invented something.

"Sometimes it’s a good idea to reinvent the wheel" would have been a better title.

Oh I totally assumed this applied to passion projects, making your own K8s on weekends kind of thing.

If you invent someting better, you can get reward, lots of examples out there.

[mcnamaratw]

Sure. But inventing something better is not reinventing the wheel. Those are two completely different activities.

[nssnsjsjsjs]

It doesn't have to be not better though. The wheel reinventor has hindsight.
