The worst dependency hell is when a library has a strict version dependency, and another library uses that same dependency. When the second library updates their minimum version of the dependency to one that is higher than the exact version needed for the first, THAT’S dependency hell.

This wouldn’t be a problem if libraries didn’t frequently make breaking changes to their api.
“Move fast and break things” is for startups with no userbase, not libraries with millions of users.

There are times when things need to be broken. But I also definitely understand your angle.
