For years, an often used phrase among developers was Not Invented Here Syndrome. This was a common phenomenon where developers would look some code and have the impulse to completely toss it out because they weren't the ones who wrote it. This often led to a lot of needless refactoring, breaking of working code, and reinventing of the wheel. Today, I think we've swung really far the other way. Instead of Not Invented Here, there's a tendency to Just Grab a Library. Libraries are great! I use them in my own projects, and they save me a lot of time and result in more feature-rich components for my users. But the "correct" developer behavior is probably somewhere between Not Invented Here and Just Grab a Library. Use other people's code, but treat it with healthy skepticism. Understand how it works. Evaluate the accessibility and performance implications. Pick tools that do just the thing you need, do it well, and work for everyone. Tools aren't bad, but as an industry we tend to pick a lot of tools that aren't always the right one for the job. Cheers, Want to share this with others or read it later? View it in a browser. |
