There's always a conflict somewhere

[@nintenerdthegoat]

and then you end up spending more time getting that library to work than if you coded it yourself. classic

[@ivaniliev2272]

What kind of library. Because good luck replacing complex 3d libraries like open cascade or VTK with something written on your own.

[@bitonic589]

I code my own things even when I can use a library for multiple reasons: 1. Fun 2. I usually only need one function from that library, and I can code that one function better than the library did 3. I can trust the code 4. It will take up less space and make my code readable

[@Cxmplexe]

the hard part is getting half of the library to work properly.

[@mousesunset]

"What this function do" "What that thing do" "Damn, this shit is a bloatware"

[@Tayoky]

solution use only library that have one function

[@sweatshirt4974]

Surprise: the function in question is 10,000 lines long.

[@nazgeell]

Do you know what else is MASSIVE?

[@yeysoncano2002]

When you install a heavy library for a single functionality

[@the.hehe2]

And then you go into node_modules and somehow manage to successfully fix it 😭

[@Manny73211]

It just ends up looking unintuitive when you can write the exact same function, just a bit more verbosely and have it so intuitive to you and most of your friends

[@ViewportPlaythrough]

if all you need is to have the code running, its ok if you didnt write the code. whats wrong with it is not understanding how that library works then trying to disect a bug not knowing that its a limitation of that library. also, on big teams, there are times that you have to use libraries and functions that others inside that team have made. you have to be flexible for that. thats why proper documentation is important.

[@evancleary3315]

Libraries also add dependencies

[@BlueBrawler0]

Nose bubble like a cartoon.

[@MarkreplierR-zv5nj]

External

[@watnou346]

Explain to noobs please.

[@Pxlarizar]

Libraries are external heaps of functions that you don’t have to write. By importing or using a library, you can call functions from that library and it’s less annoying than writing out functions for everything, however importing a library is also clunky and you don’t know how everything works (I think, I don’t really get this one.)

[@llIl1llll]

Nothing in my project...😪
