Node.js — Evolving the Node.js Release Schedule Node.js® is a free, open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment that lets developers create servers, web apps, command line tools and scripts.

Node.js is moving to one major release per year starting with Node 27! 🚀

✅ Simpler: Every release becomes LTS.
✅ Predictable: Version numbers now align with the year.
✅ New: A 6-month Alpha channel for early testing.

Thanks to @notion.com for the $6,000 donation!
Amazing to see companies supporting their dependencies in such a big way 🎉

VoidZero team: "This is what a healthy open-source ecosystem looks like: independent projects pushing each other forward. npmx helps developers find better packages, and their real-world usage helps us build better tools to create them with." 🤝

Shoutout to @voidzero.dev for sponsoring us, too! 🤍

Being good at context switching becomes a lot more important when you have multiple agents running simultaneously on different things. In my experience, most devs prefer focused work and being “in the zone”. I feel this is gonna be a big adjustment and why many are still sceptical. It’s hard.

I noticed 'lock file maintenance' has become a common PR for Renovate, so I updated my handy prune-github-notifications helper to filter those out too.

Thanks!

And that's an interesting point haha. Does the verbiage on the homepage below the main banner do what you're looking for?

Open Source Endowment — World's First Endowment Fund for OSS The Open Source Endowment provides truly sustainable funding for critical open source software through a community-driven endowment model.

We heard the Bluesky community cares about Open Source, so we showed up 👋

Our endowment dedicated to supporting Open Source maintainers is already at $729k, and we're developing a model for distributing our first funding round.

Have ideas on how to identify critical OSS projects? We're listening.

2025 In Review | Goldblog Looking back at the accomplishments and goals from my fourth and final year as a full-time independent open source maintainer.

Wrote up my final "year in review" blog post for open source maintenance. It was a wonderful fourth and final independent work year. 💙

I haven't had much time to work on personal projects or Flint in a few weeks (mild cold, new job, etc.). Today's the first day I'm spending real dedicated time on Flint in a while. I'm still so pumped about this project. Back to work!! 🔥

VoidZero sponsorship announcement card with dark purple background. Left side shows the VoidZero logo, a message reading "Thank you for moving the ecosystem forward!" with a gradient highlight, and a $10,000 sponsorship badge with a heart icon. Right side features a profile card for @auvred showing their GitHub avatar and the tagline "Creator of tsgolint".

VoidZero is excited to sponsor auvred for $10,000 as a small thank you for all their contributions that push the ecosystem forward.

Thank you auvred for creating tsgolint and generously offering to continue its development under the Oxc organization.

Sponsor @auvred on GitHub Sponsors GitHub is where people build software. More than 150 million people use GitHub to discover, fork, and contribute to over 420 million projects.

If you've loved using Oxlint's type-aware linting feature, then please consider sponsoring auvred too: github.com/sponsors/auv...

THANK YOU VOIDZERO!!! 🔥👏

Auvred is a force of innovation in the web linting space who absolutely deserves this and more. Go check out his work!!

So few companies give even trivial sponsorships back to open source, let alone major personal sponsorships. I'm so happy with VoidZero for doing this 😭

VoidZero and npmx: Building Better Tools Together How VoidZero and npmx.dev share a vision for making JavaScript developers more productive, and how real-world feedback from open-source builders helps improve our tooling.

Congrats to @npmx.dev on launching their alpha!

We share the same vision: making JavaScript developers more productive.

They chose to build on the VoidZero toolchain, and their feedback has already shipped real performance improvements back to the community.

This is open source at its best.

I feel like this change flew a bit under the radar for me and isn't even the featured change in the post, but it's good to see Github wanting to address Low Quality Comments.

When built into the platform, tools like OctoGuide can focus energy on it a little less and focus more on other guidances.

Twice a year I get contacted by someone who believes they've solved open source funding. It's usually a new app or licensing scheme. Both miss the point. Most companies see sponsoring open source as "charity" or an unnecessary expense, and until that changes, no solution will make a difference.

I posted a breakdown of my 2025 income as an independent open source maintainer. 💰

tl;dr: it grew 12% from last year, again mostly from a few bigger projects.
