i went from being an early adaptor of Angular 2 (while it was in RC) to being a never-next.js guy.

i learned how to build react server components on my own, learned how to build tailwind on my own, learned all about typescript's generics types and how to define them.

i removed googleapis in favor of writing raw http calls, same with stripe, same with every other 3rd-party library.

now it seems obvious to me because i don't have to rewrite major swaths of code because somebody else decided to change the abstraction. now it seems obvious that this is what smart teams have been doing all along.

if you're going to tell me about open source libraries making it easier for new developers i'm going to tell you you're wrong. i'll have the fair debate about whether it's better to learn a guaranteed-to-be-shorter-lived-dependency over a long-lived web standard any day.

what about you, are you using open source web libraries?
