Because of the explosive growth and fast paced advancement of the web, most developers are mostly copy/pasting and gluing modules together. When the customer asks for a "image slideshow" they are not going to write one from scratch, even though it's just 10 LOC, they are going to bring in a library/framework which already has that functionality.
- acdha 8y agoAnyone who actually has written a slideshow from scratch knows that it's way more than 10 lines of code: you couldn't even do the CSS in that, let alone accessible HTML, responsiveness, etc. There's a lot of design and testing which goes into superficially simple-seeming components and it'd be irresponsible to take that on each time unless you have a really good business justification.
