I am not saying all that decline is related to #AI, but wow.
My wife, one of her developers and me are now struggling for about 2 hours to make #IDEA based #AndroidStudio and #Gradle to built the damn app again… Which just stopped working out of the blue.
And it's not like this only happens for Android apps… I do have at least 2 #Maven projects that are 100% warning free, but fall over in IDEA regularly these days.
Why using #Dependabot when you can use a #Maven #plugin?

In this migration to @Codeberg I looked for a replacement of bumping dependencies.
In many applications these days I need (and want) to manually approve them anyway, so Dependabot is actually not that helpful.
For Maven dependencies, this works well for me. Further ideas ofc are setting up automations for that on #Codeberg with custom runners. Stay tuned.
