True! But there are a number of ecosystems where it's implied that you use SemVer i.e. Go in https://go.dev/doc/modules/version-numbers

you are right, i was talking about the times it isnt implied or forced onto you. Notably also Go does that if you dont specify the version, in the Pseudo Version Number section, which is a more sane way to version stuff in my opinion

The IndieWeb is great, and was referenced in the article too (via a link to my blog post, talking about the IndieWeb)

I update my /now page manually (https://www.jvt.me/now/) and prefer it that way to make it intentional.

For some level of automated updates, I have my README (https://readme.jvt.me or ie https://github.com/jamietanna/jamietanna) that provides a more recent view of things

There's a lot of stuff I track, like podcasts I listen to (https://www.jvt.me/kind/listens/) or number of steps I take (https://www.jvt.me/kind/steps/) but I don't feel like things like that should be on my /now

(I do need to rethink what is on my /now page, tbh)

Nice, reminds me of https://github.com/veltman/clmystery which was very fun when I played it (~10 years ago)

ty, I didn't know about this, I should play it

It's worth also reading https://chaoss.community/kb/metric-libyears/ - as noted elsewhere, regularly updating libraries, or a library that infrequently pushes out large breaking changes will not reflect as easily in Libyear, but it's worth having it as something to gauge out-of-date-ness

I've been using that alongside some other metrics for providing insights into how behind teams are on updates

What are some other metrics that you are using? I am working on a product that is helping to keep dependencies up to date and would love to integrate some of these things in the product.

Thanks for thinking of oapi-codegen (I'm one of the maintainers) but agreed, we only target Go - maybe that'll change in the future, but there are a lot of great companies out there working on this as a problem that I'm happy not trying to compete against

thanks for being a maintainer!

You can now group PRs with Dependabot (https://github.blog/2023-08-24-a-faster-way-to-manage-versio...) although it's not quite as powerful as Renovate's functionality

As I said, it's not easy, and not everything is possible either. Monorepos are the biggest victim. I wrote a script that generates the Dependabot config and a GitHub action that updates it when my monorepo changes.

Renovate isn't special with how it authenticates - you can run it as your own user ie https://github.com/jamietanna/oapi-codegen/pull/12 and Renovate runs against GitLab, Bitbucket and I believe other platforms too

https://kerkour.com/sqlite-for-servers is a good read if you've not seen it before

Thank you, I have but I think I could improve it a lot. I'll put it to my reading list, thanks Jamie!

oh, I am getting an
