If the parts you need from a larger third party library are small and simple, that makes sense. But I don't think the general idea of reusing battle tested code across many projects is obsolete because of AI.
replyAh, I think I see now. Essentially the dependency module is unnecessarily large and (for your own use case) ships with extraneous features/“bloat”.
replyExactly. And over time a project can drift from its original purpose, so you end up building around a bunch of stuff you aren't using anyway, but you pay cost/risk for having it present.
