Furthermore the dependencies you choose to build your product are presumably filtered for engineering practices or world class engineers. So given the choice you yourself prefer top quality engineering, so do your customers. Much in the same way you are a customer of your projects dependencies. Difference being, as developers we get to see how the sausage is made, our customers only see second and third order effects.
