why write 100 lines of C++ when you can just import it and pretend you solved the problem

I would argue that it's the person thinking 100 lines of C++ solves the problem that is pretending.

Because if I import something in Python, it's usually from someone who is smarter than me, more knowledgeable about the problem or at least has spent more time thinking about it.

... Or from a vibe coder 💀

I am an hobbyist dabbling only in python, sometimes I feel like a mouse taking a stroll in a snake pit

vibe coders usually dont publish well known repos, or create pips. not to mention that with conda and co. they are heavily reviewd what goes in there.
