Yes, I accept this is true, but your earlier claim was much more specific: that using dependencies at all makes things worse. I gave you a specific example (GUI libraries) but you completely ignored it. How does your 0-dependencies theory survive an encounter with that basic example?
- Friday_ 5y agoIt's usually needed only minor part of it. You dont need to code whole GUI library. Only what you need to solve specific task.
- throwaway894345 5y agoNo, but if your GUI involves displaying text in multiple languages (i.e., virtually everything), you now need to become an expert in text rendering (which implies a significant breadth of knowledge in linguistics, graphics programming, constraint solving systems [for things like word wrapping], etc).
