Dependency
This trend towards huge dependency trees has started to turn me off getting serious about learning software development. It seems like unless you want to make a toy program, you end up with hundreds of dependencies, most of which are made by volunteers who could decide they don&#x27;t feel like working on it any more. Even having someone paid to do the work doesn&#x27;t seem like it matters anymore when you consider that Mozilla just laid off a bunch of technical employees to focus on whatever else.<p>Are there any other solo devs who get &quot;dependency anxiety&quot; and don&#x27;t want to start working on a project because you worry that you&#x27;ll have wasted your time if one of the hundreds of dependencies breaks something, and there is nobody to fix it (like a crypto library for example)?
