Skip SDKs in Simple Integrations
Briefly

One of my main gripes with SDKs is the mental model they impose. They often organize interactions in a way different from how I would naturally approach, preferring transparency and straightforwardness in direct API calls.
SDKs can hide complexities like global state or outdated dependencies, leading to confusion and unexpected behaviors. They may conflict with existing project libraries and increase maintenance burden.
Using an SDK introduces an unnecessary learning curve not just for the server API but also for the SDK itself. Direct API interaction can streamline development by eliminating this additional layer of complexity.
