What a pitiful state of programming affairs ... Just couple of years ago we have been discussing new libraries and tech architectures and algos. Today we discuss how to "shoehorn" some 3rd party crap into making your life miserable. Best case scenario: it will get smart(er) and replace you. (Yeah, the cope of "owning your architecture") Worst case: you redo all that shite by hand and still get replaced. And the tragedy? We ceased being programmers. We don't even qualify as code monkeys anymore ...
