But maybe, roughly speaking, that's what I would try to do is build the stuff yourself, but don't allow yourself copy-paste.

Yeah.

I do think that there's two types of knowledge almost.

Like there's the high-level surface knowledge.

But the thing is that when you actually build something from scratch, you're forced to come to terms with what you don't actually understand and you don't know that you don't understand it.

And it always leads to a deeper understanding.

And it's like just the only way to build.

It's like if I can't build it, I don't understand it.

Is that a Feynman quote, I believe, or something along those lines?

I 100%, I've always believed this very strongly because there's all these like micro things that are just not properly arranged and you don't really have the knowledge.

You just think you have the knowledge.

So don't write blog posts.

Don't do slides.

Don't do any of that.

Like build a code, arrange it, get it to work.

It's the only way to go.

Otherwise you're missing knowledge.

Yeah.

So the repository, I guess I built it over a period of a bit more than a month.

And I would say there's like three major classes of how people interact with code right now.
