I use the standard library and not much else. If I want some functionality that's difficult to implement, I'll see about including it verbatim in some branch of the source tree. If it's a large amount of code, or not license-

I think your comment is being downvoted because it's irrelevant. The discussion is about "how to figure out what to build" and you pivoted to an interview question you like to use. So it's wrong conversationally, not f

Both of those industries have tremendous regulations in place to prevent accidents and injuries. If someone gets salmonella poisoning and it is traced back to a company, there is a massive recall at the company's expense. Air travel
