We've been taught that being indispensable is a sign of success. In open source, it can also be a liability. The healthiest projects aren't built around heroes. They're built so that others can eventually take the work farther than we could alone. blog.stdlib.io/build-for-in...

I’ve never seen a movie so embarrassed by its own premise that the trailer just breezes right past it and hopes you don’t notice. Like imagine a trailer for Speed that was 99% Keanu & Sandra quips and the VO’s like “alsotheresabombonthebusandtheycantslowdown ANYWAY”

tbh HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE *is* an incoherent, self-indulgent mess, but the thing about Miyazaki is that means it's still pretty safely one of the 10-15 best animated features ever made

Great read! Thrilled to see more of your writing again lately!So many interesting reflections on the state of open source maintainers. It's like a seamless sequel to Nadia Eghbal's book 🤓
