Obviously taking on fewer such liabilities?

The article specifically excludes this as _the_ solution to the problem:

and is clear in its target:

Yes, fewer dependencies is a solution, but it does not seem to be the author's position.

  • That is my position... again, I am not sure how you got this conclusion from the article.

    The "I am not advocating to write things from scratch" is more of a caveat to the people I know will comment NIH nonsense rather than anything productive.

    But yes, my position is minimize dependencies and slow and carefully vet them too, and do not automate this process.
