You are thinking in terms of code. I'm thinking in terms of knowledge.
What you should take away from the blog post is not the code. It is the knowledge. It has given a good starting point, on doing your own research. Just using a lib usually never leads to that.
- stcredzero 18y agoUsing a lib can get things done. Sometimes you have to get things done now and have to come back to understanding the problem in depth later. Debugging through someone else's library is often a great way to do that. (Provided your language/environment's debugging support is good enough.)

- jrockway 18y agoDo you know every implementation detail of the database management system you use? The fact that proprietary databases exist means that you can use libraries without understanding all the code in them.
