I find it interesting that so many people complain about the lack
of libraries.


software library: a way to waste a programmer's time

reinventing wheels: a lie some programmers, who are paid by the
hour, perpetuated so they can justify the "use" of software libraries

The project could have been done in one day if he just sat down and
got to work. Instead, he made up some bullshit about how reinventing
wheels is bad.

Thus, he now spends 3 days searching for a library. Another 5
days trying to make it work. Another 10 days reading the
godawful documentation. A day bitching about the suckiness on the
internet.

Then, finally, two days to integrate the library into his project.
For bonus points, force the end users to install it too, because
the more time wasted, the better.
