Dependency minimalism (writing software that deliberately tries to have as few dependencies as practical) is a really underrated virtue imo.

Every single dependency is a risk that "something will go wrong" during someone's installation process. Installing projects with hundreds of dependencies and walking through errors can be incredibly frustrating.

updating dependencies is also a nightmare in projects with complex dependency graphs.

lmao! one of the hardest problems. sent my mind spiraling

"Sorry, your project depends on project A, which depends on C, version >= 1.19.0 and <= 1.25.0, and on project B, which depends on C, version >= 2.0.0"
