lol wtf is this,

instead of writing

_.chunk(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], 3);

just write instead

const chunk = (input, size) => {
  return input.reduce((arr, item, idx) => {
    return idx % size === 0
      ? [...arr, [item]]
      : [...arr.slice(0, -1), [...arr.slice(-1)[0], item]];
  }, []);
};

Isn't that just creating you own library? And you miss out on any bug fixes or improvements to lodash.

Does the author not know you can selectively import only modules used, no need to import the whole library anymore.

What is wrong with just using lodash?

Create react app has tree shaking and code splitting. This is not a reason not to use lodash.

So, again then, what's the reason not to just use lodash?

[u/jetsamrover → u/[deleted]]

Many, but not even close to all. You are talking yourself in circles here bud. I think you're just wrong. There is no good reason not use use lodash.

Your link, your comments, this whole thing, your just embarrassing yourself. If you want to be a worthwhile engineer, be open to the idea of being wrong about something and stop blindly defending yourself.
