I am unable to reconcile these two seemingly contradictory takes in the article (rest of it I concur with):
"We are destroying software telling new programmers: “Don’t reinvent the wheel!”. But, reinventing the wheel is how you learn how things work, and is the first step to make new, different wheels."
"We are destroying software pushing for rewrites of things that work."
By rewrite do you mean 1-to-1 porting the code to another language because reason is: faster/easier/scalable/maintainable/_____ (insert your valid reason here)?
