    There’s a term called “dependency hell”. Sure, this one dependency is fine, but it depends on 3 other libraries, those 3 depend on a sum of 7 others, etc…

      Nah, dependency hell is when two things you want to use depend on same thing, but different versions. The depth of dependencies needed to make “this one thing” work may or may not be a problem
