> People really need to start thinking twice when adding a new dependency
I've been preaching this since ~2014 and had little luck getting people on board unless I have full control over a particular team (which is rare). The need to avoid "reinventing the wheel" seems so strong to so many.
I find if I read the source code of a dependency I might add,
it's common that the part that I actually need is like 100 LOC rather than 1500 LOC.
Please keep preaching.
