Best practices !== detailed designs

Best practices are not 9.7 gigs of data, designs, and calculations.

Edit: I am assuming that the 9.7 gigs was data, designs and calculations. Could have been the best cat pictures ever. I just don't know.

But what about knowing how to implement the algorithm? Even something like implementing a dashboard for SRE/DevOps, I can rebuild it given enough time again.

The key statement is "given enough time". Innovation keeps moving; you're falling behind, even as you're trying to re-implement something you've done before.
