> Big things you use off-the-shelf libraries for. I should have added: "and for obvious reasons". Didn't computer science hype up code reuse for decades before it finally started happening on a massive scale? For that to actually happen we needed programming languages with nice namespaces and packaging and distribution channels. C was never going to have the library ecosystem that Java, C++, and Rust have. Now that we're there suddenly we have a very worrisome supply chain issue, with major Reflections on Trusting Trust vibes. What to do? We can't all afford to open-code everything, so we won't, but I recommend that we open-code all the _small_ things, especially in big projects and big libraries. Well, or maybe the AI revolution will save us.
