Does heavy library and snippet codes usage make you a bad programmer?
- by Henrik P.
Overall I'm in programming for about 8 years now and it seems to me that I'm relying more and more on open source libraries and snippets (damn you GitHub!) to "get the job done". I know that in time I could write me own implementation but I like to focus on the overall design.
Is this normal (non cooperate environment)? Does it make you a bad programmer if "programming" is nothing more than cluing different libraries together. Feels like it.
I know about "don't reinvent the wheel" but what happens when you don't invent a single wheel anymore.
What's your take on this?
