we were specifically taught in school to not write something that's already been written, we all build upon each other's work, literally going back thousands of years when you consider the importance of the math that underpins all of it.

    Strictly speaking, math gets proven from scratch by every math student. Software is slightly different, since most of it never gets a formal proof at all.

    Sure, but it works, and that's what we build upon. And then people build upon that. If we really wanted, we could say simple loop is building upon the work that humans did when we simply invented/discovered counting.
