Great blog post about the fragility of open source: https://blog.scottlogic.com/2020/12/22/software-crisis.html. Personally, I think we really need to focus on making software simpler rather than just piling on so much complexity that hundreds of dependencies are even needed in the first place

Unnecessary dependencies are how developers re-toot each other's toots. (And including packages in their repositories is how they follow each other.)
