Snippet · Writing & changing code
Can I drop this dependency?
Every one is code you ship without reading.
I use <package> for <what I use it for>. Here's how: <paste the usage> Honestly: could I replace this with my own code? - How much of the library am I actually using? - What would the replacement look like — show me it. - What edge cases does the library handle that I'd get wrong? - Is it doing something genuinely hard, or something that's just tedious to type? If keeping it is the right call, say so. I'm not looking to reimplement date parsing.
The edge-case question decides it. A library you use 5% of but which handles time zones correctly is one you keep.
