Better developer UX can directly lead to better safety. "You are holding it wrong" is a frequent source of security bugs, and better UX reduces the ways you can hold it wrong, or at least makes you more likely to hold it the right way

Depends. If you had to add to a Makefile for your dependencies, you sure as hell aren't going to add 5k dependencies manually just to get a function that does $FOO; you'd write it yourself.

Now, with AI in the mix, there's fewer and fewer reasons to use so many dependencies.

Friction is helpful. Putting seatbelts on takes more time than just driving, but it’s way safer for the driver. Current dev practices increase speed, not safety.
