HA! When I first read the title I was all but certain I would disagree with you and I am surprised I am in agreement. In University I was told to stand on the shoulders of giants and taught never to reinvent the wheel.
But I cannot imagine ever installing packages for such trivial code. In fact, even a copy/paste would be the true lazy developer method.
What amazes me about this, is that commercial companies didn't even take the time to fork the repositories of their dependencies?
I have been forking repositories I just know I will never have the time to write myself but absolutely need/want to investigate later, and these are for side projects just for paranoia's sake!
All in all a wonderful article, I plan to enjoy your code smell series further!
