I once saw something about how if you are trying to build it yourself instead of using a pre-existing library you come off arrogant.
Can I build it better? Probably not. But do I want to deal with a dependency in my fun side project (unfun), when I could just build it myself (fun)? No.
I probably should to get more practice with it so it is less painful, but…
I also tend to be writing code for embedded systems, so most dependencies are non-starters.
