On the other hand, ideas are never simply “imported.” We make a mark on them first through our own process of reasoning and understanding, then on our way of expressing them, and in the case of scholarship and theory, by expanding, challenging, or changing them” is also echoing Benjamin whose philosophical ideologies are closely aligned with this idea of manufacturing and reproduction. Coding itself is the beginning and the end of “reproduction” as its currently being defined and if Benjamin was alive I think he would struggle (maybe..) with how something that is so fixed (code) is also so easily manipulated and remade through another person.
