Grabbing libraries isn't fun when you first start out programming you really don't learn much and really can't do anything and I think that seems to be where everything is headed.
If you are programming for work sure its going to be easier to grab a library to do a certain task for you even if you have to mangle your task a little bit to use it but when you are learning or even when you are programming for fun that is dull and really really not fun.
- barrkel 17y agoI think part of the problem is having too many options. When all you had was moveto and lineto, simple programs with simple graphics was enough. Now, such programs seem so lame and pale in comparison to the state of the art, while the amount you need to know and learn to match that standard is daunting, there must be a cost in terms of programmers lost to the profession at an early age.
