Thanks for your follow-up comment and for clarifying! No worries at all—I’m glad you found the post interesting, and I appreciate you engaging with it so thoughtfully. 🤓
To answer your question, I actually haven’t based this post on any specific experiences with Violinist.io, Renovate, Dependabot, or any other automatic update services. I’ve never used them myself—my perspective comes from a broader observation of the risks and trade-offs I’ve seen in the ecosystem. The conclusions in the post stem from hands-on experience managing updates manually, combined with a bit of skepticism about handing over control to a one-size-fits-all system.
I totally get that my take might differ from yours—sounds like you’ve had a different journey with this stuff! And yeah, we’re definitely on the same page about great manual work beating out sloppy automation—precision matters. 👌✌️ Thanks again for the discussion!
