So basically you don't use your time effectively because you have plenty of time to waste.

With that kind of philosophy why bother using anything made by anyone else since you have so much time? Forget using programming languages and their corresponding softwares which were made by people far more intelligent than you are. Write your own language. Write your own assembler for use with the compiler of your language. I would begin with this. Next, I would start creating all the other necessities one by one. Make a GUI framework of some sort with your language and get to work on a web browser, word processor, etc. Before long, you'll be attempting menuetos.net only you won't accomplish anything. Somewhere along the line, you'll realize you NEED the existing code and existing software of others. I don't see how you could be so ignorant to some of the other posts in this thread, notably the last one by Kp.

Leaky,

Write your own operating system.

If you refuse this challenge, or you give up before it's more widely used than any individual linux distribution, you lose this argument.

There is certainly a fantastic reason to reinvent the wheel: if you want to learn exactly how it works.

Go ahead and write your own botnet. It'll be a great learning experience. Extra points if it's fully peer to peer

True, but with Leaky's knowledge I'm sure that he already knows exactly how it works considering it also isn't really that advanced of a topic.

Leaky's knowledge? I don't know, but he isn't sounding too hot in this topic thus far.

Either what I said spiraled right over your head or you caught it nicely.

Leaky: that post does not make much sense. Any given programmer only has a finite amount of time to devote to working on the code. If you can save hours by reusing an existing and perfectly functional piece of technology, then you can use those hours to work on a new feature or socialize with friends.

In the corporate world, programmer positions are typically exempt. As such, you get paid the same amount whether it takes you five minutes or two hours to do something. I would rather spend the five minutes doing it so that I can go home at the end of the day, instead of staying into the night debugging a new version of the wheel.

I don't think you realize, but you just gave Cuphead your seal of approval for making CleanSlateBot.

But think of all the time a CSB user is saving when he uses that instead of reinventing the wheel! *We can use these hours to work on a new feature or socialize with friends.*
Joe is right. This is what's happening to the quality of our propetiary software.

You guys are getting mixed up between reinventing the wheel, and reinventing the car.

Warrior · December 23, 2007, 12:10 PM

Reinventing the wheel is defined as implementing something that already exists and your implementation holds no or marginal improvements over the existing solution. Implementing for the sake of implementing, in a sense.

Then there's innovation, in which you see a problem with an existing solution and you implement your own thing. That's not bad at all, but there's a very fine line between innovation and a waste of time.
