Coding AIs can't upgrade dependencies. They don't "know" which version of a dependency their code is based on.

Neither do I 🤣

We never needed AI for this. Renovate and Dependabot have been working well for ages. Just add a trivial YAML file to your CI/CD pipeline and you're done. A bot will automatically open PRs to update dependencies in your project.

But (See what I did here?), of course, for this to work, you actually need a CI/CD pipeline in the first place... And a strong testing/regression suite to back it up. So... for a lot of projects, maybe not that trivial of a change after all 🤣.

"Coding AIs" are just glorified auto completion with better algorithm

Not if you vibe code it.
