when a C/C++ programmer says "no dependencies" it means they have copied unknown versions of various dependencies into a particular subdirectory of their project.
you can learn a lot about the author's personality by what directory name they choose.
"vendor" -> web developer adjacent
"deps" -> uncomfortably self-aware
"thirdparty" -> unskilled grifter
"common" -> sneaky
@andrewrk I think under these definitions, I'm a straight-up thief?
I have copied Base58 implementation once into a file called "base58". (Obviously, putting a comment that I stole this code into the file, attributing, complying with licenses).
@andrewrk "vendor" is also used in Android dev, but it refers to firmware
