Needed to return an order to @Chewy b/c one of my cats passed away and it was an autoship of food that was just for him, and they offered a refund without returning the food. They suggested donating it to a shelter or friend. Can’t tell you how much that meant to me 💗

The entire copyleft licensing regime was built for a "software is scarce and precious" world that no longer exists. But watch the old guard cling to these obsolete rites like a pre-reformation priest to a Latin Bible.

I'm really curious if Deno as an Open Source project will manage to stay around.

Polly is becoming a paid library. Microsoft.Resilience is still free to use. Since .NET 8, integrating resilience into your applications has become much simpler. There's a new Polly API surface and official Microsoft resilience libraries. Polly is a .NET resilience and transient fault-handling library. Polly allows us to define resilience strategies such as: - Retry - Fallback - Timeout - Rate-limiting - Circuit breaker Want to learn how to use Polly to create resilience pipelines? I wrote an in-depth article with everything you should know. Learn more: milanjovanovic.tech/blog/bui… Polly recently introduced the OSMF at $20/mo I believe. But this only applies to direct dependencies, which Microsoft.Resilience isn't. The whole --- P.S. I built this AI programming pack for Clean Architecture to make your life easier. More than 10,000+ developers are already using it. Get it here (it's free): milanjovanovic.tech/template…

I'll give it my best shot... 🙏

Maintainers need sustainable funding. Consumers need clear, predictable terms. Both can be true. The .NET Foundation’s statement on Open Source Maintenance Fees (OSMF): pro.dnf.cloud.sitefinity.com…

And for those thinking it can't possibly work, let me remind you @wixtoolset went from 71 sponsors to 353 in a year, and according to Grok and the sponsorship tiers, that's an estimate of ~7k-12k a month. xitter.cf/kzu/status/19610749115…

I am always for open-source charging money, but if you're gonna make a library paid, at least make it more expensive. The barrier isn't the price; it's procurement. This is way too cheap for the logistical nightmare something like this would be for a company.

I don't work on reliability & scaling at GitHub, but the people who do aren't bad at their jobs. They're dealing with unprecedented scale from agents. It's easy to shit on GitHub from the outside if you're not in charge of 30X-ing capacity within a few months. Have some grace.

Being the foundation for millions of developers means our bar must be higher for availability, reliability, and security. I’m sorry it’s been a rocky stretch at GitHub. We know we need to do better. Today we published an update on two recent incidents: one on April 23 involving merge queue behavior, and one on April 27 affecting pull requests, issues, projects, and search-backed experiences. We’re taking this seriously. We’re listening, and you have my commitment that we’ll communicate more frequently about the work underway to improve reliability and scale GitHub for what comes next. github.blog/news-insights/co…

This is such a complete misunderstanding of how complicated it was to do this within Microsoft when he did it. Plotting telemetery is one thing. Getting the largest software vendor, at the time, to coordinate that all software within needs to play nice with this one tool is not.
