I read this years ago, but reading it again is incredibly interesting now that I use GitHub. GitHub has changed the way I think about dependencies. I'm no longer afraid to take a dependency and I'm no longer afraid to just start making changes to those libraries. It's like the best of both worlds: everyone else's code becomes my code. I've got "Not Under Version Control Here Syndrome". (This breaks down miserably if you are shipping boxed software and have hard dependencies on other things on disk which are out of your control, like Excel does)
