Measuring Dependency Importance in Software Architecture

Dependency count is easy to measure. Dependency importance is not. Two projects can have the same number of dependencies and completely different risk profiles. Because structure is what drives impact. Not all nodes in a graph are equal. Some are replaceable. Some are load bearing. We just don’t have good ways to surface that yet. That is the problem space I’ve been exploring recently. #opensource #devtools #softwareengineering #architecture #programming
