There's always a conflict somewhere

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.

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 usually 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

[@TheEmolano]

Two is usually false. The library a lot of times will be faster since their code will be optimized. Sometimes they even use faster languages in critical points (Python libraries using C++, C++ libraries using assembly). The rest of the points are very valid.

[@bitonic589]

@@TheEmolano By libraries I don't mean things built-in to the language, I just mean libraries made by other people, such as CryptoJS for one example

[@AndrewGaming587YT]

That’s why I use my own libraries.

[@NI-ko5kt]

My first professor never let us use the libraries for the first fundamental classes. He'd have us figure out everything on our own, and I am immensely grateful to him for it.

"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.

[@Cxmplexe]

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

[@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

[@the.hehe2]

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

When you install a heavy library for a single functionality

[@Jackflack-fj8wm]

I think of libaries and frameworks more as complex tools than actual coding

[@lunarology9158]

Bruh i swear using a repo or copy of any program for anything sucks cuz you also get the mistakes

[@evancleary3315]

Libraries also add dependencies

[@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.

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.)

[@FFKUNAL5449W]

Well this is like you are going to code for calculator but someone already written it's functions like add,subtract,etccc,and you only have to take input and pass values that take less time but compiling code with library creates error many time and you also don't know how that method or function because what is logic inside you only know output.
