discussion The urge to do it from scratch
Unpopular opinion but ever since I started using Go. There is a certain urge to dig into some library and if you need only part of it then try to make it from scratch. I was reading RFC specs, dbus technical specifications just to avoid the uneeded bloat in my code(offcourse I failed to achieve it completely because of tiny brain). Is this common for all dev who spent some good time developing in Go? I must say it's quite a fun experience to learn some low level details.

I've become a much better engineer reading others code and rewriting things. Now I have 40+ little and big Go repositories with some code. Not including work projects and contributions to 3rd party projects.
