  2. jubalh

    Whats NIH?

    "Not Invented Here", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_invented_here

  4. lovetox

    both extremes are wrong in my opinion

  5. lovetox

    sometimes its best to depend on an existing project

  6. lovetox

    but if i end up with 72 dependencys on different projects

  7. lovetox

    this can lead also to problems

  8. pep.

    72, you're too kind

  9. Zash

    72 dependencies? Those are rookie numbers, you gotta pump those up

  10. Link Mauve

    In JavaScript, some people are trying to do 4k demos.

  11. Link Mauve

    That is, making a software in less than 4k dependencies.

  12. lovetox

    4k, insane :D

  13. lovetox

    at this point can anyone really tell what they are shipping?

  14. Zash

    Can you even make a todo app with only 4k deps?

  15. Link Mauve

    lovetox, when you need a dependency to know if a given integer is even, which itself uses a dependency to know if the integer is odd, you can guess how deep this madness goes.

  16. Zash

    Don't forget the dependency to check if it's even an integer in the first place, itself needing a dependecy to know it it's a number.

    But it's only two clicks from npm! That's faster than writing your own is_number() function!

  18. Link Mauve

    Oh, you use dependencies by clicking on them now?

  19. Ge0rG

    Don't you know the game of whack-a-dependency?
