Dependency Management

Overview

Every dependency is a commitment -- to its maintenance, security surface, and upgrade path. Add deliberately, update strategically, audit regularly.

Core principle: Every dependency decision should be justified. Don't add what you can write. Don't ignore what you can update. Don't skip what you can audit.

When to Use

  • Adding a new package or library to a project
  • Security audit warnings (npm audit, pip-audit, cargo audit, etc.)
  • Batch dependency update time
  • Major version upgrade decisions
  • Choosing between alternative libraries
  • Lockfile merge conflicts
  • Questioning if a package is still maintained
