Very exited to see that my talk, "I inherited this project, and all I got was all these angry users" from #StateOfOpenCon is now live - thanks for the super speedy publishing, OpenUK!
I was honoured to kick off the Open Source Software & Security Track with a keynote about my experiences being an Open Source maintainer, and digging into the factors that make maintaining oapi-codegen
difficult, and on top of that my own personal experiences which lead to difficulties in maintaining Open Source, especially when it's used actively by companies.
There were some great discussions about the maintainer burnout problem over the conference, and I had some great chats with folks in the "hallway track".
I'll be finishing my write-up of the conference in the next week (π€πΌ) but am very excited to see the talks are already up on YouTube, so I can catch up on talks I missed, too

@www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me Thank you for the kind words! When Iβm at my keyboard Iβll share a link to the artwork so folks can print their own stickers, use on social, do whatever they like π
Oof yeah, that's a difficult one - it's not always "easy" to fix something without something else breaking, or breaking someone's workflow
@www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me Loved the talk, some of the example comments sounded very familiar! I think my worst/best tired maintainer story was dealing with a user who was very insistent I urgently fixed a minor CVE introduced by a depdencency, with a suggested fix that would have introduced a bigger problem (segfault in extremely specific conditions vs timestamps suddenly changing timezone).
Sorry yes you had mentioned you were the carrier, I couldn't remember who it was you said they were from - thanks very much @mizkirsten π
@www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me I am just the carrier, @mizkirsten@mastodon.social is the person to thank! ππ»
Absolutely love this new "make art, not billionaires" sticker, thanks very much @andypiper π

Weβre starting back up hiring at incident.io and itβs made me think about why I joined, and why Iβm still here just (if not more) as excited as day one.
