What you are saying absolutely makes sense to me for domains like device drivers.
I think it becomes a lot more questionable when your coworker wants to write their own JSON parser or HTTP server for use on a commodity x86 linux box. It’s an incredible waste of resources and a major security hazard too boot.
- GoblinSlayer 4y agoI wrote JSON parser and http client for commodity platform, and they are 100 times safer than everything else, partly because they aren't overengineered beyond all reason.
