I'm developing a system that uses graph differentials to understand what has changed between library versions and upgrades the target system without breaking things. [0]
Because source isn’t always available, it scans the bytecode of an application and the new library, building a full graph of each component in Neo4j to determine what breaking changes impact the target application. This is then translated into tickets and prompts to drive an LLM to make the appropriate changes.
Handling library upgrades is rarely interesting and just adds to our overall technical debt, so it has been nice to automate it away so that we can focus on features and functionality. It supports Java and .Net currently and we’re actively adding support for other languages.

You may not see the ads in that content, but your data will still be collected and sold. This is where we lack fundamental protections.

I developed an application to track menstrual cycles that had to be local first due to privacy concerns. My goal was to provide privacy for my wife and daughter, so monthly recurring revenue was a secondary concern. Both Google and Apple make it difficult to publish a local first application as it doesn't fit their preferred app business model. I have concerns that as large organizations own more of the platforms, local first will be less of an option, and therefore privacy will continue to erode.
