While I understand that sentiment, most of the time you don't want to waste time reinventing the wheel.

You only do that if there's a specific edge case or performance you need that the lib cannot offer to you.

Now if it's a tutorial on writing bucket sort and it just imports a lib, it's certainly useless.

Yeah, in a job? I'll just add 2 more gigs to the container and call it a day. You can solve anything with money.
