This is definitely true, but only really relevant if you're either a solo dev or in for the long haul, so to speak. And it'll work way better for your use case too.
The problem is working with others. Others coming in are more apt to try to learn a known or semi-known system than "Dave who used to work here's crazy thoughts." Especially in this market where longevity is rare, and company specific knowledge is useless as resume fodder.
So from a dev standpoint it absolutely makes sense. From a business standpoint, probably markedly less so.
- toast0 1y agoFiguring out how to get others to install a dependency is even worse!
