You don't need Lodash

This article critiques the use of the Lodash utility library in modern JavaScript/TypeScript development. It argues that native ES6+ features and patterns can replace most Lodash functions, leading to benefits like smaller bundle sizes, better performance, reduced maintenance overhead, and improved code readability for developers familiar with the core language. The author extends this reasoning to other libraries with native alternatives, like Axios, encouraging developers to critically evaluate their dependencies.
