People can grow completely desensitized to the negative meaning of a word.
In programming, programmers rely more and more on other software: Libraries, built tools, testing environments etc. These were being called dependencies by people who thought we relied to much on them. dependency is a word with a negative meaning, but today programmers happily add a new dependency to their project to save 3 lines of code.
A lot of modern hacks happen through these dependencies. Programmers are looking at kinds of solutions to make dependencies more reliable, rather than trying to reduce their number of dependencies.
