Reply to comment by davidrodord92 in Is coding from scratch a requirement to be able to do research? [D] by [deleted]

That’s true. I shouldn’t need to reinvent the wheel unless I feel as thought I need to develop something new. As of now, it doesn’t feel like I need to. I should continue with what I’m doing

You can try to experiment with different techniques and libraries until you find an interesting solution maybe in that part you need to code something new.

But focus on what's the product of your research, with low inspection form advisor as in my case, it is very easy to start flying and working in many and none things at the time

Don't reinvent the wheel but you should absolutely know a bit about how the wheel works, that way you can better interrogate the thought process and find your project

So what I’m doing is trying to at least understand the backbone of the some of the algorithms and methods I’m using, so I know what the package is doing etc. if asked and be able to parse the result of the package
