I don't do modern coding with "bunch of dependencies downloaded at compile time" so now I am having fears about being "like so out of touch man". Just reply and tell me I am out of touch if I am so far off base here. If the updated library breaks your stuff then can't you just... not update? And if you want to update to the new library for XYZ new cool stuff it does, then you are already putting in effort to utilise XYZ. In which case you can sort out the new ABC fix too. It is extra work but it is part of having updated to the new coolness.
