I don't check every file but I use very sophisticated proprietary heuristics such as "intuition" and "hunch" for how far to dig.

I use vim so dependencies are explicit. But when using npm packages in work I give dependencies a look before I look anywhere else. An unfamiliar dependency gets looked at. It's easier since npm web browser allows inspecting code.

It's a very imperfect process.



Have you ever caught anything?


No, that would be a different story:) ended up not using dozens of plugins and libs stuff after a look at their dependencies and code though
