LLMs seem to handle dependency upgrades really well. The task is well-specified, there's usually a build/test suite to check correctness of the modifications, and there's often a changelog they can consume too.

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.)

I've been reading about the object-capability model as seen in the E programming language. It reminds me of dependency injection, but used pervasively. Rather than calling static methods, you pass in object arguments and call methods in them.
