- jdmichal 10y agoIs being a one-person gig really a valid concern for open-source? What's the worst case? That the bus factor kicks in and someone has to fork it to continue the work? That's not such a terrible outcome. Certainly better than, say, when Google decides to wind-down a closed-source project.
- jazoom 10y agoYes. There are thousands of 1-man projects that have been abandoned. People here quoting the examples where something starts as a 1-man project and is now super popular just illustrates the wisdom in waiting to see which few of the many actually catch on. What's the benefit? The benefit is that you aren't left as the 1-man crew maintaining the project after the other 1-man gives up. Would I use a 1-man backed CSS framework? Probably. But that doesn't mean melicerte is wrong.
