    And the discussion on whether or not to pin versions.

    Pinned, these packages work together, but don’t automatically pull in security updates.

    Don’t pin, things randomly change on each build, best of luck debugging things.

      Oh yeah those are fun. Ive come across projects just 6 months after creation that cant work if they have a small version update. So it just sits there for a LONG time before a senior dev (mostly me) decides to get grumpy and fix the dang thing.

      CI/CD builds can help…but you have to have someone keep an eye out for potential issues and, in best case, have a development deploy actually test the dang things.
