Had to dive into someone else's old, abandoned project today to grab some screenshots.

Nothing like trying to lubricate the cogs of a Next.js 8, React 16 site from 6 years ago and all its dependencies to get it back into motion again.

The wonders of dependency rot.

Angular devs be like: "Just use this package!" 😂 Package dependencies: 1000+ files. BREAKDOWN TIME: 1. How Angular works. 2. Why dependencies are a plague. 3. Alternatives. #Angular #DependencyHell #CodeHumor

Is there anybody out there, running an #endeavouros development system with Rust, DotNet, Qt, Angular, Elixir, Brave and is able of updating w/o error? Could that person perhaps show me how to do it?? #archlinux #dependencyhell

For #hybridapp #angular #ionic independent devs with projects of some complexity, how do you keep up with the relentless pace of change in dependencies?

I seem to spend a good thirty percent of my time just keeping up with changes.

#DependencyHell with its #security & #maintenance implications are an issue with *any* system (e.g. #NPM, #Maven, etc.) that makes adding dependencies frictionless.
