As I said, "there are plenty of times a library or framework is a better choice".

An egregious example of what I'm referring to is what we saw with the left pad library. That always blew my mind because the amount of effort to find a library, learn it, include it, and use it, seemed really high for the functionality. I don't understand why it saw such adoption - I wouldn't even -think- to Google that functionality as a library; I'd just write it (if I was unaware of the string method, which to be fair, I only know of because of the leftpad kerfuffle).

A game engine is an example where learning the framework is assuredly going to be faster; you'd need a better reason to write your own, and as a dev manager I'd be pushing back on it hard (whether it was coming from the devs or the business).
