Software that hasn’t been touched in ten years and still does the job is about as ideal as a dependency can be.

Software that hasn’t been touched in ten years and still does the job is about as ideal as a dependency can be.
- palata 2y agoI tend to agree, but it may have downsides to: it may do the job and have serious security issues. If you don't know what it does, no reason to know about the security issues.
- qup 2y agoMaybe it's even actively maintained!
- WhyNotHugo 2y agoIn theory yes. Although a ten year old dependency is written in Python, it's likely not going to work any more due to changes in the build system, stdlib, etc.
- bluGill 2y agoBut does it? If the software is a spell checker for a language I don't know I will have no idea if it is any good.
