Unrelated: I initially expected this articles to be referring to public libraries. I think that would be a challenging connection to prove despite it making intuitive sense. On the article: some use cases eg handling dates, fault tolerant queues have so many edge cases and are so mission critical that relying on a battle tested tool makes a lot of sense. However, in my career I’ve seen a lot of examples of a package being installed to avoid 40-50 lines of well thought out code and now a dependency is forever embedded in the system. I think there is a catch with replacing libraries with LLM generated code. Part of the benefit of skipping third party libraries is the domain knowledge that gets built up: this is potentially lost with llm generated code.
