That is silly, I try to avoid libraries as much as I can, and never had a problem. It does give me in depth (you need then to study that subject) knowledge of many fields that clueless library users do not have. Also then often my code is smaller, and I can do it in asm on any micro, plus do a few tricks that others cannot.
It is a bit like taking a taxi for the masses, versus building your own specialized car. I have done it for video, for graphics, for ethernet, and for I do not even remember how many other things. It is fun. The 'square wheels' are the silly linked against the rest of the universe tinkerers, often ten times slower. And I often publish the code. Now publish yours, and let us see what you can. You have been here a while where is it? All hot air. I am with JL on this one, show your work. Quoting some book or echoing the jive by others is not good enough.
