omg! such mind-blowing and world-changing ideas like "they didn't reinvent the wheel" and "The bottlenecks were identified and eliminated."

i feel like i am at the mlm presentation. seriously, if you want to "learn more" invest the 6 minutes of your life better.

I expect better from major publications like newsletter.systemdesign.one

Not even a .pizza domain, it's clearly second rate

I like how "Don't reinvent the wheel" is almost immediately followed by "they rewrote some of the core components to fit their needs". Isn't that basically reinventing the wheel with a few extra steps?
