## Resource

Dependencies! We need them, but how do we use them effectively and safely? In this week's episode Kris is joined by Ian and Johnny to discuss the polyfill.io supply chain attack, the history of dependency management and usage in Go, and the Go Proverb that "a little copying is better than a little dependency". Of course, we wrap up the episode with some Unpopular Opinions!
