I think I might have used the expression "do want" to vaguely here. Same as you, I have very little desire to write any of those systems, and still try to avoid them as much as possible (as those endeavors usually require more time/energy, etc. and come with higher risks).
Maybe it's better put as "But sometimes all your product requirements strongly suggest that you have to build X and there isn't really a way to avoid it" (and what's available off-the-shelf doesn't fit)?
- eulers_secret 5y agoThanks for the clarification (even for some rando on the internet), that makes a lot more sense... I think I'll implement a rule for myself where I won't comment on HN posts after first waking up anymore. Agreed that could totally happen!
- mst 5y ago'Put self into read only mode until after the first pint of coffee' is a policy that has significantly reduced the number of times I look back at a comment I've made somewhere and judge myself for its quality. I mean, even fully caffeinated, I still manage to beclown myself on a semi-regular basis, but the 'semi' part is still a net win.
