evlog is growing way faster than I expected and there's so much I want to build.
I just set up an Open Collective so I can actually invest back into it. Better design, keeping everything running, and most importantly, being able to bring people in to work on this with me.
If you're using evlog in production and it's helping you, any support would mean a lot.

A meaningful milestone for @RockxyApp it’s now fiscally hosted by @opencollect - with a transparent Open Collective budget.
If Rockxy helps you or your company, I’d appreciate your support:

“Stewarding Resilient, Free & Open Digital Infrastructures” Xavier Damman, Matthias Kirschner, Florian Glatz, Tara Merk
Moderated by: Joshua Dávila
From cooperative funding models enabling innovations in collective ownership, to local hosting and political/legal advocacy, there are many pathways to support sustainable FOSS infrastructures. Maintaining and scaling these infrastructures are vital to ensuring censorship resistance and digital freedom, especially as demands for compute and data storage escalate.
Panelists: @xdamman x @opencollect , Matthias Kirschner x @fsf , @heckerhut x @freedom , @mpg_dd x @CNRS

What events should the @OBSProject team attend? Panels? Q&As? Should we make some exclusive @opencollect and @Patreon supporter merch?
Let us know what you'd like to see from the OBS team.

The good thing is that everything is public, and people can check on @opencollect how the money is used. Ultimately, these contributions help projects stay alive, which in turn helps contributors keep contributing. It’s a virtuous circle.
In Berlin? See you at the Neo Cypherpunk Summit today s26ber.web3privacy.info
And at 4pm, join us for a conversation on “Stewarding Resilient, Free & Open Digital Infrastructures” with @TBSocialist @fsf @mpg_dd and myself.

open source is dying. @theo is right.
all of our code depends on who knows how many libraries and packages created at some point and maintained by some random guy
this job has always been incredibly hard and mostly uncompensated (kudos to open source public goods funding @opencollect @MolochDAO @ProtocolGuild @gitcoin @ethereumfndn @thedaofund)
there have always been issues, PRs to review, and some idiot to deal with
but never this many
the amount of code, commits and PRs everywhere has been growing exponentially since vibe coding became a thing. and it's not slowing down
great that more people are building and shipping. harder to tell signal from noise.
and a lot of times, the person who doesn't know what they're doing is also the one asking, insisting and tagging maintainers in comments and issues
btw not long ago there was zero spam protection. p*rn sites would exploit github's SEO and spam issues everywhere to trick google's algorithm
maintaining open source has never been this hard or this annoying
and all of our code depends on those people
we should be more intentional about funding and incentivizing open source public goods
let's hope they don't give up before that
TLDR: we need maintainers more than ever.
Support the maintainers.
🤯BREAKING: Alibaba just proved that AI Coding isn't taking your job, it's just writing the legacy code that will keep you employed fixing it for the next decade. 🤣
Passing a coding test once is easy. Maintaining that code for 8 months without it exploding? Apparently, it’s nearly impossible for AI.
Alibaba tested 18 AI agents on 100 real codebases over 233-day cycles. They didn't just look for "quick fixes"—they looked for long-term survival.
The results were a bloodbath:
75% of models broke previously working code during maintenance.
Only Claude Opus 4.5/4.6 maintained a >50% zero-regression rate.
Every other model accumulated technical debt that compounded until the codebase collapsed.
We’ve been using "snapshot" benchmarks like HumanEval that only ask "Does it work right now?"
The new SWE-CI benchmark asks: "Does it still work after 8 months of evolution?"
Most AI agents are "Quick-Fix Artists." They write brittle code that passes tests today but becomes a maintenance nightmare tomorrow. They aren't building software; they're building a house of cards.
The narrative just got honest: Most models can write code. Almost none can maintain it.
Should LLMs be able to learn from your open source code?
53%Yes
33%Only open models
13%Only humans

Offering tokens is one of them.
Open source maintainers, this is for you!
Excited to announce Claude for Open Source ❤️
We're giving 6 months of free Claude Max 20x to open source maintainers and core contributors.
If you maintain a popular project or contribute across open source, please apply!

OpenAI is now also offering free tokens for open source maintainers:
We’re launching Codex for Open Source to support the contributors who keep open-source software running.
Maintainers can use Codex to review code, understand large codebases, and strengthen security coverage without taking on even more invisible work.

FOSDEM is this weekend already!
Don’t forget to RSVP for the open collective meetup. 👇
Already in Brussels? Join the opensourcevillage.org

To all governments that want to invest in their digital sovereignty: read this 👇
Europe needs digital sovereignty, and Open Source is the most direct path to it. But it requires more contribution-based procurement. More public money must flow upstream to Open Source maintainers, not just to integrators and resellers.

Coming to Brussels a couple of days before and/or after? We have you covered!
We are sponsoring the opensourcevillage.org, a Pop-Up Village for open source contributors. The perfect place to land, cowork, offer or attend workshops
Tickets to the village are €121. If you can expense or afford them, please support this initiative.
Otherwise, we have secured a couple of passes for people that have contributed in 2025 to open source communities on Open Collective. Apply to attend: luma.com/p6cqbp85
