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.
