Top HN comment on my post “How Dependabot Actually Works”: “I consider reflecting on how dependabot works a bit of a waste.” 😂

Looking into the https://forgefed.org spec this evening and there’s nothing about packages or dependencies yet. Imagine if repositories and forges could announce to the maintainers of packages that they just started using their package, and then be able to subscribe to maintainers announcements of new releases, security advisories and calls for help.

And they *like* it, because fundamentally Linux users are into pain

I think a big chunk of the "linux is hard" sentiment stems from the fact that most linux users do weird things with their computers. basically this:

My last "year in review" post I wrote was in 2019. I have been considering writing one for 2025 but as a "glass half-empty" person it is so hard.

The year AI SRE arrived. 1,152 PRs, a team that grew from 3 to 18, and the hardest I've ever worked. From betting on tooling in January to shipping a product that makes customers say "how did you figure that out?" by December.

I don't want self-driving cars. I don't want humanoid robots. I don’t want AI in every app I use. I want clean water. I want a stable climate. I want a habitable planet.

I had a Tesco delivery this afternoon, the driver said, " I've got a couple of substitutions for you, here's your rosemary and haddock". I said, "this is neither the thyme or the plaice".

Cookin'.

Someone asked me what the plan for the blog was, and tbh there’s not much of a plan at this point. I just have a lot of pent up thoughts and feelings about package management that I kind of expected other people to write about over the past few years and no-one did… so I’m just brain dumping.

if you find yourself editing a dependabot.yml file, stop right now and forget about it and use the open source renovatebot instead. it's so. much. better. https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate
