The amount of libraries and code for toy stuff is humongous compared to anything I see in production, and I've seen some monstrosities.
I wonder for how long, though.
I really hate small libraries and in my projects I tend to rewrite lots of trivial stuff, but that keeps me comfortable.
But he's been reasonable in the last couple years, sure.
You don’t need the qualifiers. Influencers are disconnected from the real world, no matter the area. That’s why they’re “influencers”, being a celebrity is the point. Think of it in contrast to someone you’d label a “maker” where the value of what they teach/build is much higher yet they have a comparatively much smaller (and usually geeky) audience.
