Good read on #AI Slopageddon and the #OSS by @kateholterhoff.com at @redmonk.com 💭

Top advice 🎯 for contributors: "Engage as a human. Understand what you’re submitting."

And maintainers: "Develop clear policies, document them publicly, and don’t suffer in silence."

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Trust as Infrastructure | Bryan Cantrill | Monktoberfest 2025 YouTube video by RedMonk Tech Events

Another awesome @monktoberfest.com talk by @bcantrill.bsky.social ! It's absolutely worth watching the whole talk, but I think the last bit is great way to wrap up, where Bryan talks about broken institutional and organisational trust using RTO example:

Finally, someone wrote it down in a book:

To understand what is going well/poorly inside your engineering org: ask the devs what this is! Talk to a bunch of them to get a good picture
