  4. Ah, yet another riveting tome on the thrilling world of software maintenance via continuous integration 🤓. Because clearly, we need AI agents to fix our code while we sip artisanal lattes and attend endless meetings on Zoom ☕💻. Remember, the real challenge is not the code, but staying awake through this "groundbreaking" reading. 💤📚

  6. I used to think of myself as an "innovator" 20 years ago. Today I'm probably better described as "ancient maintainer" as I'm mostly working on projects I've started 10-15 years ago. I used to believe a good maintainer churns out new and exciting features all the time, but I now I think that a good maintainer:

    - keeps the lights on
    - doesn't frustrate the users of their projects (less breaking changes and controversial/divisive features)
    - tries to build a welcoming and enduring community around their projects
    - values simplicity and the power of "saying no"/"less is more"

    This article definitely resonated strongly with me joanwestenberg.com/the-rime-of

    Software evolution is the continual development of a piece of software after its initial release to address changing stakeholder and/or market requirements. ... organizations invest large amounts of money in their software and are completely dependent on this software.

  11. 🧹 Tidying Up After Myself: Automatically Deleting Old GitHub Issues

    At some point, I had to admit it: I’ve turned GitHub Issues into a glorified chart gallery. Let me explain. Over on my amedee/ansible-servers repository, I have a workflow called workflow-metrics.yml, which runs after every pipeline. It uses yykamei/github-workflows-metrics to generate beautiful charts that show how long my CI pipeline takes to run. Those charts are then posted into a GitHub Issue—one per run. It’s neat. It's visual. It's entirely unnecessary to keep them […]

    😏 While acknowledging the need for #publicfunding, there is concern about big #techcompanies offloading their #responsibilities and the potential for the fund to become a subsidy for them.

  18. Thought of the day: having lots of open issues in your project isn't a problem. "Stale issue" bots are doing way more harm than unanswered issues.

  19. 1/5 Heya Fed, Hint of the day for the devs out there: I was heavily reliant on Dependabot to keep my project's software dependencies versions up to date (you are keeping your dependencies up to date, right?).

    Some colleagues who are deeper into OSS told me to try Renovate, but I mostly dismissed it as just alt tech.

  22. Good on the German authorities who set up the Sovereign Tech Fund. To help fund the maintenance of core software that most people have never heard, but depend on every day. I want to see every government in the world setting up a similar fund, and having them coordinate their efforts.

  33. 🔍 Refactoring : l'art de garder votre code en état, tout comme votre maison !

    👀 Il est facile de comprendre pourquoi nous devons entretenir nos maisons pour éviter qu'elles ne tombent en ruine. Mais quand il s'agit de logiciel, les choses deviennent un peu plus abstraites. Souvent, les parties prenantes ne voient pas le besoin immédiat d'entretenir le code.

  34. Current status: Refactoring thousands of tests cases in ~320 files to use Bun's test runner (vs my homegrown one). Nothing wrong with the latter, in fact going to miss some features, but gladly cutting some weight...

    How the saying goes: "Everyone wants to build, nobody wants to maintain..."

    Well, I do believe in maintenance and #ThingUmbrella wouldn't have made it to almost 6 years (in its current shape & form) and growing to this size without occasional grand house keeping sessions like this...
