      <p>Whether it's Drupal modules, PHP libraries, npm packages or Tailwind CSS plugins, what's the smallest number you can have in a project?</p>

      <p>I have a list of Drupal modules and other projects that I commonly use, but I try to keep it to as few as possible.</p>

      <p>The fewer dependencies there are, the less will need to be updated and maintained.</p>

      <p>There's no guarantee each dependency will continue to be supported by its maintainers in the future, and each dependency added is an opportunity to introduce potential bugs and security vulnerabilities.</p>

      <h2 id="here%27s-the-thing">Here's the thing</h2>

      <p>I'm not suggesting you need to write everything by hand as this would be ignoring a major benefit of open-source software, but consider if you need each dependency or if you can achieve the project's goals without it.</p>
