Modern source projects (was Re: difference between Quick compilers)

12 Apr 2011

...
   My pet peeve
are projects that drag in dozens of libraries, which then
 drag in dozens more. Of course, these then conflict with other projects'
 expectations, or screw up other already running builds.  
 "Dependency hell", the hallmark of software developed by clueless 
 and/or inexperienced people.  Unfortunately it has become common. 
And people wonder why I tend to reinvent the wheel for most of my projects --
it's because I want to avoid such dependencies. This actually wins me users,
because it's less things for them to muck around with or maintain.
