don’t even try to learn what a software dependency

Everyone at my company keeps using the term "dependency hell" when referring to literally dependency management and order of operations with a modern package manager like NPM that tracks versions and dependencies.

They've literally never experienced working with dynamically linked libraries and they think it's so hard because they have to understand a tree that exists in data form (e.g. package-lock.json) and can be easily visualized vs a tangled file system and LD_LIBRARY_PATH or Windows standard search order / HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\KnownDLLs.

It's pathetic.

These guys are living in the glory. I bet they don't even know all the info they need is just in a fucking config file, in a damn manual somewhere or in the stupid docs that people doesn't seem to bother reading anymore, or writing some decent ones.
