There's a difference in being dependent on parts of the job versus the entire job.

I mostly write JS today and it either runs in browsers (dependencies) or a host like AAwS (dependencies). I use VS Codium and a handful of plugins (dependencies).

These all help me work efficiently when I'm coding, or help me avoid infrastructure issues that I don't want to deal with. Any one part is replaceable though, and more importantly any one part isn't responsible for doing my entire job of creating and shipping code.
