As developers, I think we need to think about how we reach this situation where we rely so badly on 3rd party dependencies to do our jobs. There was a time when all we need as a framework like Django or Rails to write our code on top of it with few 3rd party dependencies, usually something that we could copy to our own repo, read and verify the code and be happy. Now, no matter what ecosystem you are, it could be Python, Javascript or something else, you end up with hundreds of dependencies even for trivial and basic apps. How did this happen? Maybe it is the time to rethinking what we have doing.
