Michael Connor BuchanWorking on some recent projects, I've been thinking about #NotInventedHereSyndrome. I've never really been affected by it, after all, it's easier for me to just bolt someone else's code together. However, do you think it looks better to potential imployers if you use as many libraries as possible (where appropriate of course), and create a more sustainable solution, or is it better to show off your #programming skills by implementing things yourself?
@TheFake_VIP I think it's two different skill sets, really. Writing command-line arguments is very different from writing something like getopt(3) or clap. So it'd depend on the project and the kind of work you're most interested in, but there's definitely a balance you'll want to strike somewhere between "stdlib at most" and "5GB of deps"
