Carmack weights in: https://twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/1293311943995002881 https://twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/1293311943995002881 "This HN discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24123878 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24123878 is topical for me: at this very moment, I am implementing C++ MFCC code myself, because my attempt to integrate Kaldi (on windows) was unpleasant. It already took more than an afternoon, but I learned good things! \ I'm more sympathetic to the Use-All-The-Dependencies crowd than some might suppose. It definitely isn't my way, but I see them as a fellow subclass of programmer, evolved for other environments. It is amazing what can be cobbled together in a weekend now. \ The old Knuth vs McIlroy story is relevant: http://leancrew.com/all-this/2011/12/more-shell-less-egg/ http://leancrew.com/all-this/2011/12/more-shell-less-egg/ Generally, use-the-tools is correct, but sometimes you really do want a Knuth (or maybe a Carmack)."
