       Progress happens because of those who ignore what exists and just go and build something better. Yes, it's 100% ok to write a program or library when there are dozens of existing alternatives. Don't let strangers discourage you with the usual "reinventing the wheel" BS.

       @galdor yes!  it’s essential to learn to think theu problems this way, as opposed to thinking thru solutions via assembling approximate tools that claim to solve an abstract problem.

       @galdor "Telling a programmer there's already a library to do X is like telling a songwriter there's already a song about love."-- Pete Cordellhttps://dylanbeattie.net/songs/framework.html - I'm not sure if this song works for or against this argument.

       @galdor Note this does not apply to communication protocols where interoperability is key. Don't reinvent the internet standards.
