Fundamentally this is what computers are all about; at their simplest, everything is just a bunch of bits. To be practical, you start from the simple bits and build solutions that are more appropriate for the problem you’re trying to solve. Along the way, you create an intermediate-sized component that may be reused to solve other problems. …Not every problem is a nail, so having more tools than a hammer is a good idea even if [it] requires a bit more learning. | |
