At some point you just want to rebuild everythingI’ve done it, which is why if you look at my I have 450+ repos, I wanted to own the whole stack, package managers, testing frameworks, dev servers, everything from scratch. But in the end, what I really wanted to do is build an app. I learned a ton though, not regretting the time spent, but now I’m just using what’s there, and AI, to get things done.
replied to:I don't see much point in trying to build software at a "higher level", like whole products and services. I'm going to go down low and train myself on the fundamentals. Hopefully in time I'll be able to contribute to the foundational bits. You're right, it does get exhausting. At some point you just want to rebuild everything, which is not possible.
