- There is a difference between having somone hand you something on
- a platter and working out how to implement an algorithm yourself.
- All code reusability arguments aside, you never learn something
- quite so well as when you have to figure it out for yourself.
-
- It is only natural to question how something works and to go
- through the motions to satify yourself.
