some ways to combat this: - do you really need to upgrade? - try to reduce dependencies - freeze packages to specific versions - are you sure you need to upgrade? - if you depend on a simple package that you can't be bothered to write yourself, consider moving it into your project - try to get more control over how your project is built - try not to use dependencies that have implicit dependencies on other languages (msgpack written in c++ for example) - try to choose packages written in typescript first if you're using typescript - make sure you have a good reason to upgrade
