In my 12 year professional career and 10 years of programming before that, I can't count how many times I thought something was an afternoon of programming and I was terribly terribly wrong.
Generally good advice to be conscious about taking dependencies, but it's also worth sanity checking that something is really "an afternoon of programming."
