It adds complexity. Software rots faster. You are more likely to git clone a 7 year old front end project and be able to run it successfully than a 7 month old project. It’s hard to find projects that successfully pin versions down so that you can build them after regular work on them has stopped.
- TomMarius 6y agoI have projects from 7 years ago that got dependencies stuck on an old major (that's the default) and the webpack I put there in 2013 still successfully builds. The original versions are noted in package.json, so all you might need to do is fix it to the minor/patch (1min task with search/replace). I wouldn't be afraid of parcel - you can do the same thing.
