Do you consider yourself someone who writes everything independently or someone who uses libraries for every case? Which libraries would you not rewrite, and which would you write yourself?

I prefer to use proven libraries for common and complex tasks to save time on reinventing the wheel and to ensure stability and community support.
For example, it's not worth rewriting:
- React, Vue, Angular — large frameworks with extensive functionality.
- Axios or fetch polyfills — for HTTP requests.
- Lodash — for convenient utilities.
On the other hand, I can write my own solutions for specific tasks, such as:
- Small utilities specific to the project.
- Custom hooks or components that precisely meet the requirements.
Thus, the balance between using ready-made libraries and custom implementations depends on the task, complexity, and the need for control.
