### AI overview

The article argues that agentic coding lowers implementation costs enough to make owning lower-level primitives more practical. It describes an experiment comparing D3 math primitives with React-rendered SVG against Recharts for custom charts: Recharts reached most of the result faster, but its remaining customization needs and an animation issue led to more workarounds than the primitive-based approach.

### Source excerpt

Agentic coding collapses the cost of implementation labor. Why the rational bet is moving from high-level libraries back to primitives you own.
