In this latest, they say: "Redis has been sponsoring the bulk of development alongside a dynamic community of developers eager to contribute". I was just talking to @quaid about this, and he made an excellent point: if your company-sponsored open source project is still 95% company-developed, _you messed up several years ago_.

Thank you for the shame-driven reminder 😅

I accidentally signed up for it over 4 years ago (and have been meaning to add the links) but as Jan mentions, I've still been part of the ring, but now I've finally gotten around to adding them!

I've been at the OSS Growing Pains workshop focused on governance these last couple of days, and I've never felt more confident that I'm in the right place. I'll be unpacking and riding on this experience for a while! Deeply grateful to @shauna@social.coop for the invite, and to have spent time with amazing humans like @HeatherLeson@fosstodon.org, @silona@fosstodon.org, and @ntnsndr@social.coop ✨

Remember folks. When VC is funding Corporation that releases a Open Source project its only a matter of time until they take it back. Their goal is to get their product embedded into your organization and abuse you for free work in the hopes they can eventually sell their corporation and cash out. Its always good for them, and rarely good for you.

Ooh I've not seen that green one used with the orange one before does that make it even slower to get food out? 👀

There's been a thread about dependencies lately and the challenge of convincing developers to look at the full dependency chain. I once maintained a C++ binary that included a PostScript interpreter, a JPEG decoder, a JavaScript interpreter, and a number of other utterly irrelevant pieces causing a huge factor increase in the size of the binary. The culprit: A single logging statement that invoked a general-purpose printer that could print web stuff. Switching to sprintf fixed it.

I love RSS, but one thing I don't like is that readers typically homogenize the appearance of posts from different sources, which is fine that's how aggregators work. But I miss seeing the flair of individual websites so I often find myself clicking thru entries to see their site designs. I kind of want a stylesheet element in the RSS feeds and feed readers could have a toggle where you can view each feed's entries with their custom styles. I understand how that could break things though.
