- Avoid NIH: There's a very good chance that the code you're writing could instead be imported from libraries/frameworks that already offer it. Avoid the overhead of reinventing the wheel and focus exclusively on business logic (and sometimes even that might already exist in some oss projects you can use).

I partially agree. Sometimes it's better to reinvent the wheel: you got better control and less risks.

(How can I properly quote someone on HN?)

I don't like the dark header. But StackOverflow changed its header from dark to white and I don't like it either.

That makes me so confused about my likes.

"ActiveRecord is hardly "the depths". After ActiveRecord, your data will probably go through Ruby's I/O system, TCP stacks, IP stacks, low level kernel I/O, firmware on network cards, a database management system (itself comprising multiple layers of semantics), and will ultimately move some electrons around somewhere."

What are "the depths" according to him then?
