Do you never use external libraries?

  With agents, we're getting there.

    I admit I haven't worked in Java for years, but no project I've seen at my current company (the only one I've worked at since agents have been a useful thing) is anywhere close to removing all dependencies. From what I've seen, people want to spend tokens on new things, not things that are already known to exist. Even if you can reinvent the wheel, it's not something that an employer is going to be particularly happy to subsidize.

  I don't think I've encountered an external library that returned partially constructed objects returned nulls (at least not without a @Nullable). There are probably cases of this existing, but those types of libraries don't tend to see a lot of users.
