Theory: 1. Reinvent a square wheel 2. Understand what's so hard about making wheels 3. Observe how a round wheel someone invented a while ago performs better than your square one. 4. Appreciate the brilliant and simple solutions to all wheel design issues that a round wheel implements. 5. Throw away your square wheel.
Practice: 1. Reinvent a square wheel 2. Push it to production
