Song #13 Dependency Spiral

I trusted the stars, the README's glow,
But now I'm caught in a web I didn't know.

Dependency spiral, pulling me down,
In this code maze, I might just drown.

Each update a risk, each fix a fight,
In this endless loop, I lose sight.

A minor patch, a breaking change,
Now my app behaves so strange.

I don’t know this code I run,
But I’m the one they blame when things come undone.

I trusted the chain, the names unknown,
But it only takes one to bring it all down.

Dependency spiral, pulling me down,
In this code maze, I might just drown.

Each update a risk, each fix a fight,
In this endless loop, I lose sight.

So I mapped it all, SBOM in hand,
A fragile fortress I try to understand.

Reviewed each link, each quiet name,
To tame the chaos, to shoulder the blame.

Still the updates come like rain,
But now I track them, still feel the strain.

Safer maybe, never free,
Each install still whispers risk to me.

Dependency spiral, no longer blind,
With watchful eyes, some peace I find.

Still fragile, still flawed, but I stand tall,
In this house of mirrors, I see it all.
