   If you have the time, we’d love to connect with you on our discord & learn more about your experience. It’s a hard problem & that needs a strong open community. Given the recent PayPal incident, I don’t think GitHub should be the on

    More money in the ecosystem will naturally create more competition but I’m sure the community will adapt & evolve accordingly. There’s no shortage of smart people in this space.

    I’m actually optimistic about the progress & shift in behaviour. There’s a few companies that are setting a clear example & leadership in this space like Sentry, sourcegraph & cash app who genuinely want to help improve the ecos

    reading this comment made my day :) thanks for your contributions to open source, the least we could do is recognise & reward you for your work. What people often forget is the people aspect of open source. I've done countless inte

    I used GPT to fact check against MIT inclusions & exclusions. In the comments I have tried to share instances of it happening if you hadn’t noticed. I admire your attention to detail but not your hostility…
