All those folks telling me to update my dependencies, this is why I don't do it. It's not laziness, it's undeniable foresight.

There's a reasonable solution to this. Tools like `cargo-audit` can tell you if a crate has security issues and guide you towards an update. You don't have to blindly update all dependencies this way.

As long as your versions don't have any security issues...

What purpose does “undeniable” serve here? This tips over into hyperbole, in my opinion, whereas “it’s foresight” is much simpler and stronger. YMMV.

I mean, yes, update your dependencies. But probably after a week or so after they've been release and tested by the first penguins willing to jump into the ocean.
