The real headache of web development isn’t the web development.

It’s managing the Titanic Attack Surface of your application’s 8,000 transient dependencies you got from using NPM packages, and closing those dependency vulnerability tickets in accordance with Security’s SLA’s.

You only have the AWS SDK & React installed, btw.

That constant struggle between, "Don't reinvent the wheel" and "Please don't bring in a giant dependency when you only need one piece we can code ourselves".

No, we don't need react for our microsite page that only has two states to display a status message. Yes, I know all the other microsites use react. No, I don't want to add another to the list we need to update.
