I’ve found little difference in long-term maintenance time between rolling my own and using third-party services/libraries in practice.

Services change and go away.

Libraries change and add complexity to the build and project.

At least when it’s your code, you’re in control. https://twitter.com/jimmy0x52/status/1254461793336000513">https://twitter.com/jimmy0x52...

One of the greatest fallacies in modern software development is how much everyone seems to completely ignore the time, complexity, risks, and long-term maintenance costs of adding so much third-party code and infrastructure to everything.
