By adding more 3rd party dependencies (and theirs) you're increasing risk.




You’re increasing risk by writing it yourself too.


Not if it's written in a language like e.g. Python with Django framework, where theres generally one or only a few accepted best implementations.

It means there's less leaks through the cracks because everything is better integrated instead of loosely tied together.


Not if it's something that takes 15 minutes to implement :)
