The best way to deal with constant deprecations and breaking changes is to keep dependencies minimal, update them regularly in small steps, and document why versions are pinned. Using stable environments like Docker or version managers helps avoid unexpected conflicts. For simple projects, sticking to plain HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript reduces risk. For complex apps, maintain a consistent stack, monitor semantic versioning, and rely on reproducible builds to keep things stable.
