How do you find work when you only use your own bootstrapped language on your own OS using your own FPGA board? And do you find difficulties getting your colleagues to use your own VCS? /s
In all seriousness I get your point, code supply chains are volatile beasts that can blow up, but it's the only realistic way to write code nowadays. You can reduce external libraries and tools as a tradeoff for time/cost or you can fork tools to host yourself, etc... These are all tradeoffs that shouldn't be seen in black and white!
- kreeben 4y ago>> it's the only realistic way to write code nowadays That's repulsive. You could hold that position, if you wanted to, because the world seems that way, doesn't it? But i don't believe even for a fraction of a second, that you are right to say so.
- EddySchauHai 4y agoOne example, do you roll your own crypto?
- kreeben 4y agoWe're discussing React in this thread, are we not? What's the name of that fallacy where you put emphasis on a whole other topic, so that your point still stands?
- EddySchauHai 4y ago>> Nothing is free in this world, not even code. The shortcuts you are making aren't really shortcuts. Instead, they will become your doom. > We're discussing React in this thread, are we not? So, by this, what you mean is purely limited to React? Or FE code? Or code in general?
- kreeben 4y agoYou got me. I was actually talking about code in general but then I threw the wrong card at you, because you had me cornered and I panicked. Please accept my apologies. But I'm still in the right and you're still in the wrong. Because what you are saying is "my disciples, go into the night and depend on whatever you may, because depending on things is the way, for I will be rich if you do." 'Tis not the way. Is all I'm sayeth.
