So, in the context of this discussion... you should make use of micro-modules to reduce code duplication, avoid defects, etc. However, don't expect those micro-modules to be maintained or available in the future; so you need to set up your own package cache to be maintained in perpetuity.

Or, you can implement the functionality yourself (or copy/paste if the license allows) and avoid the hassle.

Yeah, I think the takeaway here is something like: "find the right middle ground between reinventing the wheel and dependency hell"
