I really liked your article. I hope people will go beyond the title to actually read it. The key is that’s it’s not about taking credit for other people’s work. It’s all about gaining experience by learning from other people’s work. With time you can increasingly take on problems and put together original solutions by leveraging a combination of your own ideas as well as a panoply of many learned techniques. You also emphasize the importance of taking apart these learned solutions and really making them your own!
