We used to reuse code a lot. But then we got problems like diamond dependency hell. Why did we reuse code a lot? To save on labor. Now we don't have to.

So we might roll-your-own more things. But then we'll have a tremendous amount of code duplication, effectively, and bigger tech debt issues, minus the diamond dependency hell issue. It might be better this way; time will tell.

Not just to save on labour. To have confidence in a battle tested solution. To use something familiar to others. For compatibility. To exploit further development, debugging, and integration.

Speaking of rolling your own things, i had claude knock out a trello clone for me in 30 minutes because i was irritated at atlassian.

I am already using it for keeping track of personal stuff. I’m not going to make a product out of it or even put it on github. It’s just for me. There are gonna be a lot of single team/single user projects.

It is so fast to build working prototypes that it’s not even worth thinking if you should do something. Just ask claude to take a shot of it, get a cup of coffee and evaluate the results.

    Yeah, that is the future isn't it? Because I've built the same thing for myself and have the same plans to not put in the work of sharing it with other people. It works for me and my friends and the contractors working on my house and I'm sure everyone else is doing it too!
