They still act like it's black magic and just push all work and questions to me.

I once saw something about how if you are trying to build it yourself instead of using a pre-existing library you come off arrogant.

Can I build it better? Probably not. But do I want to deal with a dependency in my fun side project (unfun), when I could just build it myself (fun)? No.

I probably should to get more practice with it so it is less painful, but…

I also tend to be writing code for embedded systems, so most dependencies are non-starters.
