Chocolate Dolphin @chocolatedolphin7.bsky.social · 14/06/2025the original article in itself is good empirical evidence that indeed, being too eager to use dependencies for trivial things leads to instability and often poor quality code. the crash happened in part bc the library is using setenv for no good reason at all, that lib shouldn't do that afaik 100
Chocolate Dolphin @chocolatedolphin7.bsky.social · 14/06/2025btw setenv is so discouraged that it's not even supported in languages like java. if libs include libs that makes it much more likely you end up w/ obscure libraries in your product like that rust one. again, that's why C/C++ libs tend to avoid using libs themselves, it's not a new concept 100
