  1. Dumb Ways for an Open Source Project to Die

    A good chunk of the most-depended-on open source packages are dead, and there are a lot of different ways for a project to end up that way.

  2. I was kinda burnt-out at the end of last year. I felt like there's so much to do, yet too little to to tackle anything.
    For the past two months, I've been experimenting with the "1% rule": instead of few heavy lifts, I did smaller things but like every day.

    Open standards shape the digital infrastructure we all rely on. But standards are only as good as the expertise behind them.

  17. #OpenSource used to mean trusting skilled developers to build and maintain good #software so others did not need to learn every language, tool, or best practice themselves.

    Now, #SupplyChainAttack and #AISlop have made many projects harder to trust.

    Too much software is rushed, poorly understood, or built for hype instead of quality.

    #Developers now spend more time checking code, #dependencies, and #maintainers instead of simply building software.

    #AI was supposed to reduce cognitive load😒

  18. Open standards shape critical digital infrastructure. But the people implementing those standards are often missing from the processes that define them.

    In a survey of over 150 #OpenSource #Maintainers, we found strong interest in standards participation and specific structural barriers to sustained engagement.

    Learn more about what maintainers told us, and how the new #SovereignTechStandards network aims to close that gap. Applications are open until 19 May 2026!

  23. #OpenSource: Free for You, Profitable for Them.

    OpenSource means: #software where the #sourcecode is freely available and often costs nothing. Sounds great, but there is a catch.

    #Companies like #Microsoft, #Google and #Amazon fund large #OpenSource #projects not out of #idealism, but because they build profitable #cloudservices on top of them and pocket the money.

    Small #developers who charge for their work barely stand a chance against "free". Yet thousands of hours go into these projects. The #maintainers, the people who keep these projects alive, often work unpaid until they hit #burnout.

    #Free does not automatically mean ethical. It is often just convenient.

  28. I am so sick of maintaining LinkAce right now. The only feedback I get is stupid security vulnerabilities and why features are not being implemented.
    I am just one click away from archiving the whole damn project. 🤬
