Using dependencies in software seems increasingly fraught.

I wonder if there comes a point where we shun dependencies in software development.

Or go back to snippets or small, “finished” libraries that we can easily understand and reason about.

Big npm blobs seem like a bad idea!

(FWIW I already try to do this)

(And yes, you could get AI to code libraries for you. But that doesn’t seem like a good idea either!)
