Comment on 82% of Open-Source Projects Suffer from Tool Rot

Comments

Seems like solutions for this already exist with Dependabot and the myriad of other tools for updating dependencies.

there are bots that can resolve this one angle of the problem. they have drawbacks that are great opportunities to improve upon - dependabot loves spamming projects with update notifications and doesn't understand what its actually doing - it is kind of a semi-smart regex parser. valuable but we can do better.
