uv and ruff are a great counterexample to all those people who say "never reinvent the wheel". Don't ever do it just for the sake of doing it, but if you have focused goals you can sometimes produce a product that's an order of magnitude better.

Honestly "don't reinvent the wheel" makes absolutely no sense as a saying. We're not still all using wooden discs as wheels, we have invented much better wheels since the neolithic. Why shouldn't we do the same with software?

I came here to (wrongly) say that wooden disks were never used as wheels, and that ot all started with spokes. Some checking showed that, in fact, the oldest known wheels have a lot of solid disks. E.g: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ljubljana_Marshes_Wheel

Hopefully this can disabuse others of similar mistaken memory.
