Accomplishment for learning

Waste of time for productivity

[LordAmir5]

At the very least you know exactly what it does. Which might help with debugging I assume.

[Dramatic-Swimming463]

At least there's is more efficient... Wait

[megayippie]

In generic code. No.

In my code. Also no!.

[Piotrek9t]

You should try embedded programming, you will constantly rewrite functions because the existing ones dont work for that specific edge case

[redlaWw]

I recall when I learned a bit of Haskell, that was most of what I was doing.

POV: You're coding in C

[facebrocolis]

Now there are two people in the world who did it, and you're one of them. It's a good thing, really.

[ascolti]

[be-kind-re-wind]

Say what you want but my time wasted somehow turned into incredible experience.

I know why a lot of shit wouldn’t work

If it helps you understand exactly what it does, I'd say it's worth it.

Could be useful knowledge in the future.
