Absolutely this. It almost seems like a controversial opinion sometimes, but microdependencies is a code smell imo. This could largely be improved by providing a more extended standard lib, at the cost of innovation and velocity maybe. I found this interesting: https://blessed.rs/crates
I don’t disagree. My last job was using winget to update some things. I raised the concept of trusting otherwise unknown updates, but I was pushed aside for the quick utility.
I’m only a student of cybersecurity, but I harshly judge my former “security expert” on far more than that.
Like fuck, the help desk has to install every patch, to every machine, through a spreadsheet?
No, deploy that shit from a server. Fuck.
In a way, I’m glad I left. In another way, I would really like a pay check again… and I moved to a well, tech illiterate state. Fuck me.
This is one of the more important reasons to minimize dependencies and be very picky about the ones we adopt.
IDK about you but the company I work for can’t live without npm packages doing almost everything. For example: the is-even package.
