NuGet Packages Are A Lie
-
If you want to build up some technical debt that becomes brittle, difficult to maintain, and that will eventually metastasize into a massive pus spewing ball of nightmares be sure to package your code into multiple NuGet packages that you sprinkle over your projects like hail on a greenhouse. Do these things save time? No. The web of dependencies that you can build with these things is incredible and I'd argue that the time it takes to properly manage these conveniences more than offsets simply keeping all your code for a solution within that solution. I've about had it with nice little widgets you can include in a project that immediately explode when jumping from JQuery 3.5.1 to 3.5.2 - indecipherable errors and surprise failures everywhere. Don't even get me started on the magic of code generation... that is a nice little dependency that will absolutely stab you in the back, rob you, steal your car and run off to Mexico with your girlfriend. I'm getting to the point where I hate every single freakin' pointdexter that posts a solution of some sort on GitHub - I'm glad you've managed to pad yoru resume - thanks for the headache.

There's your first problem. :) Client-side libraries like Bootstrap and jQuery should never have been distributed as NuGet packages. Especially since Visual Studio now has a built-in client library manager[^] to manage them for you.

NO! You may be a nice, seasoned, and well-adjusted developer but I won't let you justify this nonsense or shift the blame to me. I'm mid-rant right now and you need to just let this play out. ------------------------------------- As for the substance of your post there are many client side web packages that have very specific JQuery dependencies and so forth. It isn't as easy as just letting Visual Studio manage it. It should be that easy, but alas...

Sounds to me like your Chakras are blocked or out of balance. I think you need to fine tune your meditation techniques. Just saying... :-D

Well... I mean... never use third-party code. Always roll your own and you can always locate the culprit very easily.

Saying this from the beginning. 90% of "programmers" are either amateurs or never work on anything safety relevant. Every time we add some component we keep a copy under version control and it is frozen. Only new major versions or extensively customized ones may use different versions, which become frozen and bundled as well. In my current field every software component has to have an accompanying heap of safety documents and certifications that there is no will to joyfully add crap to the codebase... and that's without considering that 64 kB of code memory might be all that we have to work with so everything is trimmed to the last variable.

I have to say, this approach makes a lot of sense to me. I do the same thing, for the few external dependencies that I have in my codebase. I got bitten by the (reference!) FLAC encoder / decoder recently and had to do a bit of roll-your-sleeves-up-and-get-stuck-in debugging. So now (a) I have code that works, and (b) a bug report to file (need to get round to doing that!)
