I keep seeing posts from people backing off their UV + PIP updates by a week, and I'm curious about the adverse effects of waiting on security updates vs. installing them.

This could do more harm than good unless I'm misunderstanding it. Take Django, which has very few dependencies https://github.com/django/django/blob/main/pyproject.toml#L9-L12

If you run a large-traffic website and know a security update has been released, I can't see why you shouldn't update it immediately. 🤔

This looks like a pretty cool app. It's amazing the kinds of apps people are building now that the barriers to developing MacOS aps have been removed.

✨ What a nice write-up by @fallenhitokiri on building your own coding agent but it's really approachable for writing any kind of agent.

@webology I, too, run my own Forgejo instance, though I set it up manually rather than via docker.

I think the reality is that not all developers are sysadmins and vice versa, despite the "devops" claims.

I would personally favour, for projects/orgs that are large enough, separate people to handle infrastructure from the core dev team. Perhaps we need an OpenSysAdmin group that provide services to lots of smaller projects? I'm probably overthinking this, as usual.

I host my own private Forgejo instance and I mirror some projects, and while it's free to use, it's not free to run/self-host and run at any scale. I thought it was a pain to set up (hello SSH keys with their Docker quickstart).

Overall, I think action over inaction is good, but let's be realistic about what a good newbie experience is, but that's the group we are going to pass our projects over to once the time has come. I just hope that's not a bill that only grows.
