> We just can't trust dependencies and dev setups.

In one of my vibe coded personal projects (Python and Rust project) I'm actually getting rid of most dependencies and vibe coding replacements that do just what I need. I think that we'll see far fewer dependencies in future projects.

Also, I typically only update dependencies when either an exploit is known in the current version or I need a feature present in a later version - and even then not to the absolute latest version if possible. I do this for all my projects under the many eyes principal. Finding exploits takes time, new updates are riskier than slightly-stale versions.

Though, if I'm filing a bug with a project, I do test and file against the latest version.
