Avoid adding a new library to the project
- dozzie 11y agoIt applies to Python, Ruby, and other languages all the same. Adding a library relinquishes control over bugs to third parties. This is very, very costly once a bug happens, because you can't just fix the issue and be done with it. You need to make a patch and make it to the upstream, or you need to patch the library and manage that.

- k__ 11y agoI just ask myself, will it save me much time and could I do it myself? Something like D3 or scrypt is worth a dependency. Scrypt even if it's only used once or twice. But something like Moment only if I use it at large scale.
