Told someone I'm working on an 0Auth server/library.

but that already works/exists, why re-invent the weel?

Because although it indeed already exists/works, I'd rather re-invent the weel and also throughout the process learn how it works in depth than just using an implementation and not learning much new (when I've got time, of course)!

Why reinvent the wheel? the most annoying question on earth, how the fuck are we supposed to improve/build on something when we don't know how it works!

I always try reinventing the wheel on my spare time to learn more about the inner workings of things. At work tho, not so much - I barely get enough time to slam on an existing wheel, let alone ensure it's compatible with my car or that it's even circular before the deadline is expired!

I'd do the same, but before launching to production I'd go with standard implementation.

I always try to get someone else to pay for me reinventing the wheel :)

I still think that by "reinventing the wheel" we learn a lot, but I'd never use my reinvention in production or professional projects.

That's why an HTTP library is on my list as a web dev

I built my own IoC container and other libraries. Learned so much from reinventing the wheel and also now have better understanding of what similar libraries do.

This is how I've learned everything I know. Good on you, @linuxxx

Wow, this makes me wonder what other wheels I should reinvent to learn more...
