Three fallacies of dependencies
summary
Three dependency fallacies get named and demolished with concrete examples and counts: the complaint “Go is doing it wrong” meets an 89 lines assert library that turns out replaceable by an if and testing.T; premade routing libraries get replaced by plain net/http path slicing and a method switch, saving about 2,200 lines of vendored code; the idea that “if it’s on GitHub it’s production ready” shows up as massive vendor diffs — sometimes 18,000 lines — and the advice is vet and copy the few paths actually used.
