My current mayhem is containerizing an object detector pipeline/system with dozens of gigabytes of dependencies. The main dev has pulled in a library that makes opencv look like small potatoes, just to be able to use a whopping two functions. Apart from the misery that is a 4 hour container build every time something breaks, someone upstream broke my implementation (python 2, because ROS, ugh) with a casual '@' for matrix multiplication.

Yeah I love DRY and code reuse as much as the next guy, but sometimes copypasta makes sense.

I will say go's nature and/or culture make grafting in functions a lot easier.
