I'd say that updating any version of anything, without reading the changelog, is irresponsible. Why are you updating a gem if you have no idea what has changed?

- emodendroket 5y agoIn other programming environments people do this without issue routinely.
- ljm 5y agoI used to do this, especially with patch releases. Just bump the version and hope the build passes. My mindset has gradually shifted over time though. These days, it's more a case of updating one thing at a time, and doing the research up front to see what I'm gaining from it or if I might as well stay on the current version. No point updating for the sake of it. That's 5-10 minutes of up-front, preventative effort that might otherwise become hours of reactive firefighting, and as much time spent on damage control, if it got into production unchecked.
