Paul,
I think the problem isn't dependencies (it's good to have other entities handling the majority of your solution) but rather being dependent on things you aren't ultimately in control over. Choosing open-source dependencies gives me confidence because I know that if it came to it, I could fork it and fix it. It's never come to this. Choosing small, modular dependencies instead of monolithic ones gives me confidence, because I know I could choose to swap it out for something else if something better were to come along. --------------------- I admire your agility, and I do fully support the idea of open source projects, but for my business investment I tend towards the monolithic, doubtless owing to an IBM background, where code I wrote over 4 decades ago will STILL run.
