Micro-libraries need to die already

The post argues against the use of micro-libraries, emphasizing that they often introduce more downsides than benefits. The author highlights various costs of dependencies, including poor fits for problems, potential security risks, bloat, and updates causing issues. By examining a case study of the 'is-number' library, the post demonstrates that simple functionalities are often better off being directly embedded in the codebase rather than relying on external libraries. The discussion suggests that fear of bugs and edge cases drives developers towards using many libraries unnecessarily.
