This is how you end up with massive tech debt though right? Replacing a dependency is going to be more expensive than writing something yourself, especially if it’s been around a long time.
- drewbug01 4y agoThe length of time a thing is around is the key bit, not whether or not you initially wrote it yourself.

- regularjack 4y agoIn the projects that I've encountered, the ones that ended up with massive tech debt were the ones that didn't use a framework.

But similarly to how most start ups begin with financial debt until their product generates enough revenue, it can also be a perfectly good strategy to allow for tech debt in the beginning. If this enables you to bring a MVP to the market faster than your competitors, you're good.
