I made some changes to a node express project that I haven't touched in almost five years. I was pleasantly surprised that I only needed to update one dependency to get it working again! (It was sqlite3, which is a native dependency using node-gyp.)

It feels like a mature software project is one where bugs require multiple commits to fix. You've hammered out the basic issues, so the remaining issues are often weird interactions between components.

Is there a programming equivalent of the strawberry problem, i.e. a specific coding task that LLMs are consistently bad at?
