This is exactly the sort of drudgery from which computers were supposed to liberate us.



Depending on any third-party software is a huge liability for any professional software development.

Dependencies must be chosen and managed carefully. I'm not going to depend on something for something that's trivial; the time it takes for me to write it is less than it takes to do a license review and integrate it into my build system.


Imagine if liberating one from drudgery were merely table stakes, and that it would be ridiculous to imagine that you would have to go to any effort to have the debugger pop up when shit fucks up.
