    I disagree, if you aren’t capable of contributing to a library you should be required to use it rather than roll your own solution.

        Because software devs have the weeks/months to learn vulkan every time they want to use a GUI for their job, or to learn compiler design whenever they wanna use java for their job

          Not every time, just the first time. But yes. Devs should stop being so lazy

          compiler design whenever they wanna use java for their job

          Every dev should at least know the basics of language design and compiler design, yes. Again, you also only have to learn it once

            As someone who has written a DB handle… that shit is hard, I had to be extremely careful to protect against SQL injection. Everyone rolling their own is how we return to the Era of XSS and SQL Injection on every website. I’d prefer to have young devs use libraries and contribute as they gain knowledge.
