alt Hacker NewsWhat coding with LLMs have taught me, particularly in a domain that's not super comfortable for me (web tech), is that how many npm packages (like jwt auth, or build plugins) can be replaced by a dozen lines of code.
And you can actually make sense of that code and be sure it does what you want it to.

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.
