It's been ten years, so a short story about the "gotofail" bug. Someone came to me about a catastrophic vulnerability in Apple's TLS implementation. I shit you not, they'd overheard someone at a bar drunkenly bragging about how they were going to sell it to a FVEY intelligence agency for six figures. They didn't know exactly what it was, just some vague details and the key point that it allowed use of the real certificate. This was enough for me to find the bug (yay open source), which would go on to be known as "gotofail", and produce a working exploit in less than a day. The details were anonymously back channelled to Apple, who released a fix. @matthew_d_green@ioc.exchange posted on Twitter about it, concerned by Apple's vague release notes. I used a burner phone to share the details with him anonymously. Then everyone forgot about the whole thing because heartbleed. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯

If your enemy is literally hiding behind children, you don't say, "My enemy made me kill children." You say, "I couldn't kill my enemy, because there were children in the way." Unless, of course, you don't think the children are really human in the way that your children are human.

As much as I don't think every single project or ecosystem needs its own dedicated FOSS foundation... I would much rather that than have a massive swath of the FOSS commons under the auspices of a single organization. I've not been shy about my views that the Linux Foundation has become a dangerous single point of failure. #OpenSource #FreeSoftware #Governance

One of the most useful things I've learned about writing software is knowing when to say "Nah, this is bad", reset or stash my change, and start again. Nothing you write is providing value until it's landed in main, and even that's not a guarantee. Be more comfortable with throwing away your work if it's not right, and work in small increments so you're less attached to your solutions.

@heydon@front-end.social awesome. And if the goal is to provide a “constant reminder”, I want to create a religion that’d promote temple anal plugs. Not sure that they would provide a lot of physical protection, though…

This week on The Business of Open Source, I spoke with BoxyHQ co-founder and CEO Deepak Prabhakara. We talked about a number of things, from BoxyHQ’s relationship with its open source project, called SAML Jackson to how to build a growth flywheel and how that flywheel does and does not depend on...

We don't like the "SSO tax," where vendors treat a basic security feature like a luxury to charge users for. And yet, we found a whiff of it in our own pricing! So we fixed it: https://tailscale.com/blog/sso-tax-cut/?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=owned-social&utm_campaign=devrel-social

Did MKBHD ruin an AI company and their product because of their negative review of it? No, the bad AI product ruined itself and its company. Just because someone created a business, found funding and created a thing doesn’t mean they should get instant recognition, and a pass for crappy stuff. Entrepreneurs aren’t your friends, they aren’t superior, they don’t deserve to be coddled. When they make sh*t products, they should be told that they made sh*t. MKBHD did their job.

Adam Jacob is CEO and co-founder of System Initiative, an infrastructure automation software startup that came out of stealth in 2023. Previously, he was co-founder and CTO of Chef Software, which also focused on infrastructure automation, and was sold to Progress Software in 2020. Chef had roots in open source, and underwent a license change in 2019; Jacob has taken a different tack with his new company. In this episode, he discusses his "speed run" through the various permutations of open source business models during his career, and how the industry can use the lessons learned by a generation of open product entrepreneurs to improve open source-based business sustainability.

Alexis Richardson co-founded a company in 2014 called Weaveworks, which created an open source GitOps project called Flux CD. In February, the company ceased operations, despite having gained new customers in 2023. Among the events that precipitated the closure of the business were acquisition talks with a larger company that fell through "at the 11th hour," according to a post by Richardson on LinkedIn. Weaveworks is one example of a company associated with a flourishing open source project – Flux CD continues under the CNCF – that ultimately couldn't make the business side work. Richardson gives his take on what happened with the company and how the CNCF could help businesses like it in the future, as well as what he's got planned next.
