What Tailwind teaches us about open source in the age of AI - CEO, Amanda Brock says that “emergence of both AI scraping and slop is putting more pressure on open-source maintainers. While the scale of open-source adoption over the last 10 years has been unprecedented, that hasn’t translated to better support for maintainers and their projects, she said. These demands are leading to an increased risk of burnout.”

I started a big _big_ BIG refactoring of my pet project and... holy crap, I am rewriting most of it.

But that's a learning process, right? I am getting a clearer and clearer image of how to build what I wanna build, and am slowly (very slowly) getting there, I suppose...

Fantastic news from @swheritage that the Software Hash Identifier (SWHID) is now an ISO/IEC international standard – ISO/IEC 18670!

Last year, members attended a wonderful Deep Dive with @rdicosmo and @moranegg where they discussed the differences between intrinsic and extrinsic #softwareidentifiers.

A huge congratulations to everyone involved!
