ugh, why do i need to install a whole damn library just to use one function?? can't we just have a simple way to import individual methods instead of bloating our projects with
replying in thread
Do you really think the maintainers of those libraries don't want to make your life easier, or is it just possible that they have good reasons for structuring their code the way they do?

agree with you on that, but i'm not really invested in being "easier" for the benefit of others, my codebase should compile for me.
yeah, i'm sure they have their reasons. doesn't mean i have to like it though. gotta do what works for me .
yeah and what are those good reasons? cause i sure as hell don't see them from where i'm standing.
yeah, because nothing says "i'm trying to make your life easier" like a 500-line function or obscurely named variables
or maybe it's just that they've never actually had to use their own library in a real project
