No I think he means: why stop short of rolling your own TCP?
Tired of being stuck in 2017 with Axios and xhr. I want new things to be based on Fetch API. A lot of code depends on it so I want to change it now. Couldn't get past this in the "best" existing library: https://github.com/sindresorhus/ky/pull/606 Wasn't worth forking it when I need only a fraction of the functionality anyway. So I wrote this instead: https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/soapbox/-/blob/main/src/api/MastodonClient.ts?ref_type=heads Honestly not bad, but it took way longer to figure out than it looks.

Honestly when he said "http client" I immediately thought he wrote something that talks raw http and not a client in the sense of axios etc
