People are using lots of external dependencies (which expire over time) for a reason. They allow a single software developer to build a social network of very high quality, or hardware that would have taken a whole department to build 20 years ago. The pace is so fast that the system vendors can’t catch up providing all this functionality in their native frameworks, which IMO is the primary problem here.
