Los amigos de verdad son esos que cuando ven que te va bien y que te pasa algo bueno lo celebran como si el logro fuese de ellos, que auténticamente hablan con orgullo y que se ve que están alegres por verte bien, que quieren que sigas siendo cada vez mejor, esos son los amigos de verdad.

When we are developing in JavaScript/TypeScript, we should evaluate which libraries we add and whether they’re truly necessary, also review the libraries used within others (yes, this is common), and avoid updating without first checking what changed.
