IME this can be hard if built on a platform or dependencies one doesn't control, which is common at early stage companies.
Because often the dependencies require surfing latest, or close enough, versions to maintain a secure system or avoid stalls for jumping major versions. Sometimes even core languages and standard libraries may require staying at least near latest versions.
- sirsinsalot 3y agoThis is true, but in our case all dependencies are vendored and frozen. We _do_ have instances where target systems for deployment become ABI/API incompatible with the libraries, which is rare and happens roughly every 5 years. The project was structured to put stability at the core, rather than being cutting edge.
