I've started from a series of opcodes and am building my way up to actual programs, and at each step of the way, I get these kind of "stop reinventing the wheel", or "isn't this a solved problem".

I feel like a lot of these people have somehow bought into the myth of progress, or think that we're somehow smarter than people of the past, or that we've ascended from the old problems.

We're both looking at each other like, you're the foolish one. Computer science is too young to calcify.

@neauoire Everyone calling themselves a "programmer" should build a language from scratch, just to learn what it takes and how things work under the hood.

Naive Script kiddies and snobbish Software Developers skip this, because it requires serious thinking.
