Cool so this article calls out various types of coupling and offers no strategies for managing it.
Waste of time.
The “solution” is buy their product.

This article is an ad.
Reminds me of one site that said I shouldn’t use ‘git secret’ because reasons. I’ve spent quite some time to find what do they propose to use instead (that wasn’t as straightforward as in this article), turns out they provide a ‘solution’ that includes their partners’ system to manage secrets. Another bullshit, in other words
I agree that there is some form of advertising (at least sponsoring) associated with the article, but on the other hand, the point the article is making remains valid and knowledgeable.
Yes, it’s good to know stuff like that , and even though there are not too many solutions today other than “containerize and hope”, this is part of a good software engineering education
Me and my code are in a situationship
All code today is coupled to complex ecosystems which may thrive or perish later. There are no good solutions which can be given out as generic advice.
And even specific solutions to any tech stack can be hit or miss. Time kills all projects unless they are run in a frozen environment which itself keeps up with the times, constantly
