The pain of having worked under these conditions of not using libraries, usually having to work with subpar libraries that were developed internally.
Like oh, hey, we need a database, great, lets roll our own. Or the ancient version of whatever lib shipped with the OS that is full of bugs solved in subsequent versions.
I see that you now use a lot of dependencies, and retract my statement.
Feel free to check out my work. You’ll see the quality bar I set for myself. Almost all of the repos are code that I incorporate into my projects. I just. Plain. Don’t. Trust. most code out there.
I can see the kitchen from the lunch counter, and I’m a damn good cook, myself.
I won’t tell anyone else what to do (unless I’m paying them), but I refuse to add code to my projects that I don’t trust completely (which is, I know, not a guarantee, but it’s a pretty good bet).
I have to rely on the core libraries and development tools I use, but, if I have my druthers, I am picky as hell.
Seriously. Look at my stuff. You’ll see that I put my work where my mouth is.
