Hi all, No need to think too much :) these guys are using about 7 pages; html, css, php, javascript and fusiontables as the datastore, I got a chance to look at their code b4 they went live and am amazed at what they were able to achieve with some good logic and use of the very basic tools we developers use on a day to day basis.

@muendo yeah neat idea, @mugo just shows tht U dont need to go learning a framework (Kohana) to get ur idea out I like Ushahidi but lets be frank here how many people out there are able to tweak it to suit their needs? and theres no reinventing here google apps are doing most of the work the rest is just cleaver use of code.

Its great, they did it, its out there and its different. If everyone did not reinvent the wheel, we would all be using Yahoo Old search to search the web instead of Google. The "Re-invent the wheel" phrase applies to some cases, not all cases. Most cases I believe is an excuse for laziness On Wed, Jul 27, 2011 at 10:33 AM, Kibui Maina <mainakibui@gmail.com> wrote:

What ind of a response is this. This is sheer laziness hiding behind "dont re-invent the wheel" disease. Thank God for people like Google who dare reinvent the wheel If you are too lazy to reinvent the wheel then dont critisize/demoralize others who are brave enough to get their hands dirty coz thats what we as techies do. Look at this company spacex.com they build rockets and space exploration stuff and are taking up a lot of stuff from NASA. They build their stuff, hardware and software that includes even the batteries etc (basically almost everything they make) from scratch In-house. Dare you to tell them not to reinvent the wheel. Another thing try getting a job there as an Engineer or developer if you are not ready to build from scratch and see if you will be taken Steve ----- "David Mugo" <raidarmax@gmail.com> wrote:
