I'm observing more and more startups choose a 'TypeScript stack' for their tech: - Node.JS w TypeScript on the backend - React with TypeScript on the frontend - Some standard enough API approach (eg GraphQL) This is both easy to hire for + easy to pick up for any developer.

Another chronically underfunded OSS library in the news. It’s simple: - Using OSS to make money? Fund it! - Want to see an OSS project advance? Fund it! - Want to help your dependencies succeed so you can hire people experienced in them? Fund them! NORMALIZE FUNDING OSS.
Why not take 5% of your engineering budget and invest it in the various open source projects you depend on? I'd hazard the returns you'd see over the coming years from this investment would be greater than having spent that same amount on payroll.

No one is paying the log4j2 maintainers!? There is a whole page on the responsibilities of a @TheASF "Project Management Committee"... AND NO ONE IS PAYING THEM? apache.org/dev/pmc.html Open Source needs to grow the hell up. Yesterday. nitter.cf/yazicivo/status/146934…
