MODERATORS
People can grow completely desensitized to the negative meaning of a word.
In programming, programmers rely more and more on other software: Libraries, built tools, testing environments etc. These were being called dependencies by people who thought we relied to much on them. dependency is a word with a negative meaning, but today programmers happily add a new dependency to their project to save 3 lines of code.
A lot of modern hacks happen through these dependencies. Programmers are looking at kinds of solutions to make dependencies more reliable, rather than trying to reduce their number of dependencies.
Something that the modem conservative movement has discovered, and glommed onto. Unfortunately, very successfully.
It's not always as stupid as you make it sound. Sometimes there are many subtly different ways to achieve a basic result and using a common component rather than rolling your own can be the difference between familiar and surprising behaviour. Although obvs if it's 3 lines just c+p that, but it's unlikely to really be that
