Exactly!. Why use a library when you can write everything from scratch yourself. That for sure won't have any bugs or security issues and will be super easy to pick up by the next dev.

I also follow this approach with my operating system. I'm tired of vulnerabilities so I'm writing my own.

I am currently building my own car and house, cant trust these engineers to do it right!

I am currently becoming a doctor too, can't trust these doctors to examine me properly!

I'm currently becoming a receptionist so I can tell you you can't see yourself for another month.

Aw guys sorry. I used to be a virologist but now I am an expert on war and geopolitics in about a dozen countries. Gotta do what you can to keep up with the Twitterses. Best of luck with that whole medicine thing though!

Don’t forget to become an organic chemist. What does big pharma know about drug development and production? Plus, it means all my vaccines and medications are Organic and Homemade. Those words definitely mean “better” in all cases.

Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

I grow my own mushrooms. On my own body of course, can’t trust the soil these days.

Exactly! Third party libraries never have bugs or security issues and are all known by all developers like the back of their hands!

I doubt you could write your own OS if your life depended on it though.

Don't bring reddit to HN.

Pssht. Real programmers build their own hardware https://xkcd.com/378/
