    there is no point in doing it yourself from scratch.

    Learning. The point is to learn.

    You don’t have to learn everything that way, but you understand things a lot better when you’ve built them from scratch, and that underlying foundation enhances the entire knowledge stack.

      I like both of your guys’ points. Keeping all old knowledge while deconstructing and rebuilding it to make it understandable to newer generations is pretty great in my opinion

      Don’t get me wrong, in a setting in which education and learning would be achieved and even profitable, I 100% agree with you.

      That said, in a corporate or business position, a person is getting paid to do a job and to do it as efficiently and efficiently as possible. This is not only from a profitability standpoint but also a fiesabilty standpoint.

      As someone who is in a management position due to owning a business with a tech base, I hire folks within the scope of thier skills. If this person is needing to be educated and familiarized with the basics of creations over and over, then I have hired the wrong person.

      If they can use the equivalent of copying someone’s homework to do the job faster, then there is no reason for them to try to improve thier skill set that is already effective and efficient enough to do the project.
