> Finally if I'm not capable of auditing the dependencies it's unlikely I can replace them with my own code. That's like telling a vibe coder the solution to their brittle creations is to not use AI and write the code themselves.
In both cases, actually doing the work and writing a function instead of adding a dependency or asking an AI to write it for you will probably make you a better coder and one who is better able to audit code you want to blindly trust in the future.
Just like it's going to make you a better engineer if you design the microchips in your workstation yourself instead of buying an x86 CPU.
It's still neither realistic nor helpful advice.
