Honestly I learned the most (and became a much better dev) when I reinvented the wheel.
Built a (simple) ORM instead of just using NHibernate (was a mistake.) Implemented own sorting algo thinking it would do better than built in (it did not.) Built own charting library. Etc
All were worth it!!

Great post by Matthias Endler.
It helps understanding how wheels work, how you can fix them when broken, how to make better wheels if really needed, or how to find creative use cases for wheels by thinking outside the box.

Sometimes you get a good boss. If you get one, appreciate them. We have regular “Connect” reviews, and my boss takes them seriously. He rejected mine last week and redlined it. I was upset, then fixed and returned it. He was right, and the changes set me up for success. Darn it for being right lol.
