Oh, what will people do if there's no library for their little snowflake problem?
How could you ever possibly, gasp, write it yourself? Oh the horrors of computer science.
Seriously, many times I find myself needing only a fraction of some provided library.
- JabavuAdams 5y agoThey will be unproductive. Yeah, it's fun to micro-obsess over some hand-rolled code. Save that for side projects, or maybe you can do it if you're dev cog N+1, N > 20.
- JabavuAdams 5y agoI'd be interested to know the distribution of sizes of organizations that write software. What proportion of all software development orgs are < 5 devs, < 10 devs?
- berkes 5y ago> needing only a fraction of some provided library. In a compiled language like Rust, that should not matter, isn't it? The binary-size, performance or attack-surface should not increase from code that is unused as it won't be in the resulting binary. Or did I understand it completely wrong?
