| Even before LLMs I found building custom software to be easier than using mature libraries for almost every task. I don't think this is a new problem. |

| Maybe take a step back and consider that your tastes or circumstances are rare. |

| ▲ | hansvm an hour ago | parent [-] | | Perhaps. I just never found it useful to spend a day learning the failure modes and edge cases of a general-purpose library I could hack into my use case with enough wrapper code handling the impedence mismatch when I could spend a day building exactly what we need, with the added benefit of owning the code when requirements inevitably change. Like, I'll use numpy at least half the time for numeric code; I'm not a masochist; but most libraries just don't pull their weight. |
