In specialized spaces that matter 100% to my startup, yes.
- davidw 18y agoThat's sort of the point, though, isn't it? You should be concentrating on that stuff, not replicating (or writing from scratch!) N other libraries that you do need, but that aren't the core of your business.
- helium 18y agoWell sometimes it's a case of gluing together the right components and quickly getting it out there. Not everyone has to be the next Google.
- axod 18y agoOTOH though, a lot of things aren't rocket science. For example, if you want to roll your own webserver/framework for good reasons, definitely do it. But I agree. It's a matter of deciding when it matters, and when it doesn't.
- helium 18y agoSure. On some projects your advantage is on a technical level. But on others it's time to market. Or an unique idea that's never been tried before. In these cases it's to your advantage to use the mainstream tools because there are so many resources available to you.
