Build It Yourself


We need a vibe shift on dependencies in programming.

Because it's build on top of platform abstraction libraries that constantly churn, so it needs to update to avoid code duplication and blowing up compile times even more. We're at a point in the most ecosystems where pulling in libraries is not just the default action, it's seen positively: “Look how modular and composable my code is!” Actually, it might just be a symptom of never wanting to type out more than a few lines. It's time to have a new perspective: we should give kudos to engineers who write a small function themselves instead of hooking in a transitive web of crates.
