Burnout in the FOSS community is real, and I'm glad that it's something that is being talked about more in blogs and conferences. There is a different flavor of burnout and emotional toll when you are sacrificing for a cause you believe in (especially in FOSS where people are often working for free or at below market rate). Working for a cause you believe in brings the highest highs when things are going well, but the lowest lows when they go badly. #FOSS #burnout

Justin Warren is founder and principal analyst at PivotNine, a technology consulting and analyst firm based in Melbourne, Australia. Until 2023, he was a board member at Electronic Frontiers Australia, a non-profit national organization representing Internet users. At KubeCon North America last year, he asked a press conference panel of enterprise IT leaders what they were doing to compensate open source maintainers "so they don't starve to death."A self-described "filthy socialist," Warren favors a tax or tax-like system for funding open source libraries that are widely used but not full-fledged products -- especially when the alternative is an offer from a malicious actor maintainers can't refuse. Together, Warren and Beth explore various approaches to shoring up the maintenance, security and sustainability of open source software and discuss the future outlook for the industry in this episode.

Do Not Reply cards and other mechanisms used to explicitly outline what interactions are unwelcome to a post are called “boundaries”. Boundaries are good. They are good for bother the setter and the receiver. It is loving to tell someone what is not welcome, and loving to have them respected. If you are upset that someone is stating a boundary, it is likely that you are not familiar with boundaries and I’d like to tell you that you too deserve to both set them and have them respected.

This week, we're sharing an extra special episode. It's no secret that the decision to buy or build isn't exactly a straightforward one. And the decision you make can be influenced by a ton of factors. But the fact is that in some instances, buying can make more sense than building, and in others, building can make more sense than buying. In this episode, you'll hear from John Paris, Principal Engineer at Skyscanner, to get the story behind their build versus buy journey. Joining him as the host for this episode is none other than the CPO of incident IO, Chris Evans. In their conversation, Chris and John discuss Skyscanner's setup before adopting incident.io, what life has been like after adopting the platform, and a whole lot more.
and talk about open source and autonomy. This is even related to some recent return to office news. The conversation weaves between a few threads, but fundamentally there's some questions about why do people do what they do, especially in the world of open source. This also is a problem we see in security, security people love to tell developers what to do. Developers don't like being told what to do. Show Notes
