The other side of this, is that we are living in a "dependencyshpere," where people can't build projects on their own. This is a bit jarring to me. My first computer was an MC6800 STD Bus board, screwed onto a piece of wood, with a hex keypad and an 8-digit LED readout. I got pretty used to knowing what was going on under the hood. I can't even imagine looping in a bunch of code without understanding what it will do.

Dependencies are great. They are how we can do huge things with small teams. They are also bad (obligatory XKCD: https://xkcd.com/2347/).
