I keep hearing stuff like,"why use X framework or Y library and why not write it yourself?"

As AI moves from academia into mainstream dev these things help bridge gaps for those who don't understand the full pipeline.

Many people asking these questions have the burden of knowledge and can't remember what it is like for average devs to dive into this stuff.

Similar questions were asked about why we ever needed Entity Framework or Express for Node.

well to be fair, when you're scaling it does matter. i would want my techlead or seniors to care and know when/where to make specific trade-offs bc cloud costs are not forgiving.

i think that's where folks that make those comments are coming from.
