using even a single dependency from a package manager should warrant a serious discussion.

what kind of debt are you taking on as an org? for example, what is the cost per audit per release? how many deps does that dep have? and how much cost does that work represent? transient deps also need updates, fixes, and auditing!

@heapwolf bold of you to assume these companies have intentions of paying down debt, as opposed to just ignoring it forever

@beka_valentine probably even more bold to assume all orgs of all shapes and sizes incompetent or outright broken.

@heapwolf so so many orgs have management incentives to ignore technical debt :\

there's no business case for reducing it, no justification that management can understand. pay it down or dont, the product seems to not change, so why bother? wheres the profit

i've seen so many orgs make decisions like this. it's very sad
