The real dependency management hell was ~10 years ago when npm, webpack, etc. became popular (TBH not just dependency, JS in general). I feel nowadays things are better
- airstrike 2y agoThere's a curious expression in Brazil which translates to "taking the goat out of the living room". A parable tells the story that people in a living room were complaining about everything and crying out loud how miserable they were. Someone then brings a goat into the room and chaos comes about. After enough time, the goat is carried off of the room. People are now exactly as they were before, but they do not complain anymore. The just say that life is now much better without a goat in the living room. Things may be better today, but that doesn't mean they're necessarily good. Even after climbing a couple circles away from the very bottom of dependency management hell, we're still condemned to endless suffering.
- rectang 2y agoThank you. My life is better for having read through this long discussion to stumble upon this profound and hilarious fable. I will now remove the goat from the room and go do something productive.
- airstrike 2y agoLOL we aim to please! I think of it often, so I'm glad others found it useful and liked it as much as I do
