Just this week a library got deprecated.

Open source of course.

So what's my response to that deprecating? Maintaining it myself? Nope finding another library.

You always depend on something...

> Maintaining it myself?

You say that like it's an absurd idea, but in fact this is what most companies would do.

I can maintain basic code no issue but not if it becomes complex or security relevant.

And I have worked in plenty of companies I'm the open source guy in these companies and me or my teams never had the capacity to do so
