well you know 100% know what dependabot does


Leaves you open to vulnerabilities in overnight builds of NPM packages that increasingly happen due to LLM slop?


You can set a minimum age for packages (https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/reference/supply-ch...), though that's not perfect (and becomes less effective if everyone uses it).


> becomes less effective if everyone uses it

I don’t think that’s necessarily the case. Exposure and discovery aren’t that tightly correlated. Maybe there’s a small effect, but I think it is outweighed by the fact that blast radius and spread is reduced while buying time for discovery.
