Yeah- it says โ€œbump such and such to such and suchโ€ but then I need to click into every one and open the change log. Thatโ€™s fine if you only get a couple but we have like 20+ come in a week

This kinda puts into words what I suspected - AI speeds up development in languages you arenโ€™t as familiar with but doesnโ€™t yet surpass the speed of experts in a language. Itโ€™s a small sample size for sure but very interesting- metr.org/blog/2025-07...
