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.

Minimal dependence on any individual party (in an economic sense) is also a more meaningful concept than “decentralization” for helping us determine when a token should stop being a security.

We touch on that in our open letter.
