Being blunt, it's also possible that your library was garbage from a usability perspective. It's nearly impossible to recognize how painful it is to work with your own code since you are so intimately involved in writing it.
- auganov 10y agoBoth can be true. Figuring out poorly explained technologies is still indicative of a certain kind of aptitude or proficiency.
- freehunter 10y agoThat's most likely true. Most libraries are horrible to install and configure and only make sense to the people who wrote it. I gave up on learning PHP and Laravel recently when I went to install Laravel and they recommend Homestead. So I went to install Homestead, but they require Vagrant. Of course Vagrant requires VirtualBox, and VB can't find my kernel source code on RHEL 6.5. Okay, so let's skip Vagrant... Okay, now I need to install Composer instead of Homestead... what's this? SSL operation failed... failed to enable crypto... operation failed in command line code... Yeah I give up. Yeah, I could take the time to work through this nonsense, but I shouldn't have to. Getting multiple layers deep of having to install dependency A to satisfy dependency B which satisfies dependency C is not my idea of fun.
