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.

My ledger tool, 4 deps!

Basically a wrapper for a couple of libraries. Could be even smaller if implemented with a native CLI and txs parsers, but there'll be maintanence issues (I'm lazy).
