Go and the C linux world have sold me on the fat library philosophy. You brought a library to solve a problem in a domain, then add your specific bits. You don't go and bring a dependency for each item in your check list. Yes there may be duplicate effort, but the upgrade path is way easier.

That works until you’re sitting between two fat libraries with overlapping, but incompatible concerns. It’s tradeoffs all the way down.

This reads like the dev equivalent of manager speak.
