We desperately need to teach people when a 3rd party dependency is necessary and not just optional to save writing a single function (cough left pad cough).
Also when the dependency is really good but other considerations override it being a viable option like security or code ownership.
How we all didn’t collectively learn our lesson from left pad baffles me.
It’s a double-edged sword and understanding when to re-use and when to re-implement is an art that goes wrong more often than right.
